Michael Ignatieff’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

   The Sun opposition Jupiter (close at 1.8°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

   Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them. He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.

   The Moon opposition Pluto (close at 2.5°)

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Aries, the Chaser

   Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

   Venus sextile Uranus (close at 1.0°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

   The Moon square Mercury (wide at 3.6°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

   Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and he aims again and again.

   Mars quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
