Mark Shuttleworth’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

   Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

   The Sun trine Jupiter (wide at 7.1°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Gemini, the Talker

   Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

   The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.9°)

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

   All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

   Venus trine Saturn (close at 1.9°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: he acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.

   Mercury quincunx Mars (close at 1.3°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Steady, strong and very patient. He keeps going long after others stop. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

   Venus opposition Mars (wide at 3.4°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his mind, his independence and his intensity (Mercury, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
