Kofi Annan’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

   Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.

   The Sun quincunx Neptune (close at 1.0°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

   Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Intense, private feelings: he kept an inner life few people saw, and he guarded it well.

   The Moon conjunction Pluto (close at 1.5°) · For a birth after 1:05 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

   Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

   Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 1.5°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

   Mercury conjunction Uranus (wide at 7.1°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Steady, strong and very patient. He kept going long after others stopped. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

   Mars trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his mind, his heart, his drive and his independence (Mercury, Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
