Jared Diamond’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉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 comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

   The Sun trine Jupiter (exact at 0.0°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

   Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Leo, the Romantic

   Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

   Venus square Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

   Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. A poet’s mind: he hears what goes unsaid, and his best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

   Mercury conjunction Neptune (wide at 6.3°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

   Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

   The Sun square Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
