John Cleese’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

   Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

   The Sun square Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

   Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. Self-contained: he keeps his feelings in order, and he gives comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

   The Moon conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.7°)

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

   All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

   Venus square Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

   A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

   Mercury sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

   Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

   Mars square Uranus (wide at 4.6°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
