Ned Beatty’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

   The Sun sextile Uranus (close at 1.3°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

   Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.

   For a birth after 8:54 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

   Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.

   Venus sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

   Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

   Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

   Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

   Mars sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.4°)

6. The shape of his chart

   The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touched everything else in it. In his chart, earth and water signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid, and feeling and intuition.
