James Baker’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Born near a new Moon, so what he wants and what he needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.

   The Sun conjunction the Moon (close at 1.1°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

   Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.

   For a birth before 12:09 a.m., his Moon was in Aries.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

   Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

   Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.2°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

   Mercury square Neptune (close at 2.8°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

   Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.

   Mars quincunx Neptune (close at 2.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
