Jacques Vallée’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

   Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

   The Sun trine Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

   Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

   Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

   Venus opposition Jupiter (close at 1.3°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

   Mercury sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Rebel

   Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

   Mars square Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth before 2:14 a.m., his Mars was in Capricorn.

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
