What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun trine Neptune (close at 1.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own. The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
The Sun opposition the Moon (close at 2.4°)
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus square Uranus (close at 1.3°)
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 1.4°)
What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mars sextile Uranus (wide at 4.6°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Henry Ford was born on the day of a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 100% lit, in Aquarius. Tonight’s Moon
The day
