What his chart says about him
Who he is
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. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)
How he loves
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 1.9°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (close at 2.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his mind, his heart, his discipline and his intensity (Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Paulo Coelho was born seven days before a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 61% lit, in Sagittarius. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Sunday, 30 days before the September equinox.
Saturn return
