Louis XVIII of France’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

   Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

   The Sun sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

   Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. His feelings and his imagination pulled in different directions: he lived between what was real and what he longed for.

   The Moon square Neptune (close at 1.6°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Devotee

   All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

   The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 5.1°) · For a birth after 12:52 p.m., his Venus was in Sagittarius.

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

   Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

   Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 2.0°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Cancer, the Defender

   Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

   Mars opposition Saturn (wide at 6.0°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
