Kirk Douglas’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

   Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

   The Sun sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Gemini, the Talker

   Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence. The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.

   The Sun opposition the Moon (close at 2.0°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

   Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

   Venus square Uranus (close at 2.2°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

   A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

   Mercury trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

   Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.

   Mars quincunx Neptune (close at 1.5°)

6. The shape of his chart

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