What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
The Sun trine the Moon (almost exact at 0.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Moon square Jupiter (close at 2.8°)
How he loves
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Venus trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (close at 1.4°)
What drives 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 goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)
The shape of his chart
Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touches everything else in it. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Philip Glass was born five days after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 75% lit, in Libra. Tonight’s Moon
The day
