Gloria Steinem’s birth chart

What her chart says about her

1. Who she was

   ☉Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

   Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At her best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. Her purpose and her feelings were on the same side: the life she chose and the comfort she needed went together.

   The Sun trine the Moon (close at 1.4°)

2. What she needed

   ☽Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

   Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars.

   For a birth before 6:03 a.m., her Moon was in Cancer.

3. How she loved

   ♀Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

   Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.

   Venus trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)

4. How she thought

   ☿Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

   Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

   Mercury opposition Neptune (close at 2.2°)

5. What drove her

   ♂Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

   Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Her drive and her imagination spoke different languages: she went after something before she could say what it was.

   Mars quincunx Neptune (close at 1.6°)

6. The shape of her chart

   In her chart, her identity, her drive and her independence (the Sun, Mars and Uranus) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew her attention first. Most of her planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
