James Garner’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. Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.

   The Sun conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

   Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.

   The Moon trine Pluto (close at 1.1°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

   Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

   Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.6°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

   Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. Meaning came to him before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.

   Mercury quincunx Neptune (close at 1.9°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Pisces or Aquarius, the Gentle Warrior

   Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

   Mars opposition Neptune (wide at 3.5°) · For a birth before 8:27 a.m., his Mars was in Aquarius.

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his optimism and his independence (the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
