Jean-Paul Gaultier’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Born near a new Moon, so what he wants and what he needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.

   The Sun conjunction the Moon (close at 1.8°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

   Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around him feel the same.

   For a birth before 1:15 a.m., his Moon was in Aries.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Aries, the Chaser

   Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

   Venus trine Pluto (close at 1.3°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Aries, the Spark

   A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

   Mercury opposition Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

   Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

   Mars trine Uranus (close at 2.5°)

6. The shape of his chart

   The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
