What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 2.1°)
What he needed
Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth
Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.
For a birth after 7:42 p.m., his Moon was in Gemini.
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. What he found beautiful and what he desired kept parting ways, and love took some working out.
Venus quincunx Mars (almost exact at 0.7°)
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Saturn (close at 3.0°)
What drove him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Steady, strong and very patient. He kept going long after others stopped. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mars trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)
The shape of his chart
Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Jackson Pollock was born five days before a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 65% lit. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Sunday, 36 days after the December solstice.
Saturn return
For Jackson Pollock, Saturn came back to where it stood at his birth in 1940 and 1941, at 28: his first Saturn return. When is yours?
