James Callaghan’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

   Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

   The Sun sextile Uranus (wide at 3.7°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

   Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.

   The Moon square Mercury (almost exact at 0.5°) · For a birth after 8:55 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

   Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

   Venus square Jupiter (wide at 5.1°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Aries, the Spark

   A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

   Mercury sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

   Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.

   Mars conjunction Pluto (close at 1.8°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Mercury is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his mind touched everything else in it.
