Louis Pasteur’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

   Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. He took in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gave them back as something new.

   The Sun conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

   Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene.

   For a birth after 8:47 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

   Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

   The Sun conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.9°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

   A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

   Mercury trine Saturn (close at 1.9°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

   Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

   Mars trine Jupiter (close at 2.8°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart, his drive, his independence and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
