Karen Black’s birth chart

What her chart says about her

1. Who she was

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. The self she showed the world and the self she came home to wanted different things, and she made room for both.

   The Sun opposition the Moon (almost exact at 0.3°)

2. What she needed

   ☽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. Her feelings ran large: she wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.

   The Moon square Jupiter (close at 1.8°)

3. How she loved

   ♀Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

   Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. She loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.

   Venus square Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)

4. How she thought

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. She thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and she remembered everything.

   Mercury conjunction Pluto (close at 1.7°)

5. What drove her

   ♂Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

   Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.

   Mercury opposition Mars (close at 2.1°)

6. The shape of her chart

   The weight of her chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
