Michael Jackson’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

   Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

   The Sun sextile Neptune (wide at 3.3°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Pisces, the Tide

   Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Leo, the Romantic

   Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

   Venus trine Saturn (close at 2.4°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

   Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 2.9°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.

   Mars quincunx Saturn (close at 2.8°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his mind, his heart and his independence (Mercury, Venus and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
