What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun quincunx Uranus (wide at 3.5°)
What he needs
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he loves
Venus in Scorpio or Libra, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
Venus square Mars (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth before 2:05 a.m., his Venus was in Libra.
How he thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Mercury trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°)
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.
Mars conjunction Saturn (wide at 5.3°)
The shape of his chart
Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Neil Young was born seven days before a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 47% lit, in Aquarius. Tonight’s Moon
The day
