What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (close at 1.4°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Moon opposition Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)
How he loves
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (close at 2.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Mercury square Jupiter (wide at 6.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mars sextile Saturn (wide at 3.4°)
The shape of his chart
Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Jean-Michel Jarre was born five days after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 81% lit, in Aries. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Tuesday, twenty-nine days before the September equinox.
Saturn return
For Jean-Michel Jarre, Saturn came back to where it stood at his birth in 2007, at 58: his second Saturn return, after the first in 1977 and 1978. The third begins in 2036. When is yours?
