Ian Holm’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

   Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.

   The Sun quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

   Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Tenderness through and through: he needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.

   The Moon conjunction Venus (close at 2.7°) · For a birth after 11:43 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

   Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

   The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.2°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

   Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.

   Mercury conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

   Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

   Mars square Pluto (wide at 4.9°)

6. The shape of his chart

   The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
