Harry S. Truman’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

   The Sun square Mars (close at 1.4°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

   Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

   The Moon trine Venus (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth before 5:55 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

   Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour.

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

   Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.

   Mercury conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Leo, the Leader

   Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

   Mars square Neptune (wide at 3.5°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his mind, his discipline and his intensity (Mercury, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first.
