Jia Zhangke’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

   A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

   The Sun trine Uranus (close at 2.2°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

   Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

   The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.9°)

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

   Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

   Venus square Uranus (close at 2.9°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.

   Mercury conjunction Saturn (close at 1.5°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

   Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

   Mars square Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)

6. The shape of his chart

   The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
