John Lithgow’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

   Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

   The Sun square Saturn (close at 1.3°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame

   Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move.

   For a birth before 5:09 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

   Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.

   Venus conjunction Neptune (wide at 6.2°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

   Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

   Mercury square Pluto (wide at 4.2°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Cancer, the Defender

   Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.

   Mars conjunction Saturn (close at 2.8°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his heart, his optimism and his imagination (the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
