James Gandolfini’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

   Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

   The Sun trine Jupiter (close at 1.9°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

   Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed.

   For a birth before 1:42 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Leo, the Romantic

   Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.

   Venus quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.

   Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.4°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

   Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

   Mars square Saturn (close at 2.1°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
