Pete Townshend’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

   The Sun trine Neptune (wide at 5.8°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

   Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

   The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 4:56 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Aries, the Chaser

   Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.

   Venus quincunx Jupiter (close at 2.4°)

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. Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.

   Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

   Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

   Mars sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.4°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
