What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: she moves forward a step, then checks it.
The Sun quincunx Saturn (close at 1.0°)
What she needs
Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around her. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to herself.
For a birth after 1:32 p.m., her Moon was in Aries.
How she loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.
Venus conjunction Jupiter (wide at 5.5°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mercury opposition Uranus (wide at 6.0°)
What drives her
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (almost exact at 0.7°)
The sky the day she was born
The Moon
Patti Smith was born seven days after a new Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 42% lit. Tonight’s Moon
