What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself.
For a birth before 11:14 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (wide at 3.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (close at 2.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
Mars conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.7°)
The shape of his chart
Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touched everything else in it.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Gustav Klimt was born three days after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 89% lit. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Monday, twenty-two days after the June solstice.
