Harry Belafonte’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

   Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.

   The Sun conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

   Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Aries, the Chaser

   Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

   Venus sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

   Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

   Mercury conjunction Uranus (close at 1.3°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

   Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

   Mars opposition Saturn (wide at 3.4°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind, his optimism and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
