Lionel Messi’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

   The Sun opposition Neptune (wide at 4.2°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Gemini, the Talker

   Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. Tenderness through and through: he needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

   The Moon conjunction Venus (close at 1.6°)

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

   Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

   Venus opposition Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

   Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and he weighs words before letting them go.

   Mercury quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Cancer, the Defender

   Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.

   Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 2.1°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
