Mitch Albom’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

   Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.

   The Sun quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

   Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay.

   For a birth after 12:15 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Aries, the Chaser

   Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

   Venus opposition Jupiter (close at 2.5°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

   Mercury square Uranus (exact at 0.0°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

   Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

   Mars square Saturn (wide at 4.5°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
