Harry Dean Stanton’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

   The Sun square Mars (close at 1.9°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Virgo, the Mender

   Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

   Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.

   Venus quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

   Mercury sextile Venus (close at 1.2°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

   All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.

   Mars quincunx Saturn (exact at 0.0°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in eight of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touched everything else in it. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
