Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. 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. Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.

   The Sun conjunction Jupiter (wide at 3.6°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

   Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all.

   For a birth after 6:52 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

   Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

   Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 2.7°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

   Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

   Mercury conjunction Mars (wide at 6.1°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

   Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Action guided by imagination: he moves on instinct and feeling, and he gives his all to a vision.

   Mars conjunction Neptune (wide at 4.5°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart, his drive and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
