What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.2°)
What he needed
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he loved
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Venus square Jupiter (close at 2.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Taurus or Aries, the Careful Thinker
Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Saturn (close at 2.2°) · For a birth before 5:58 a.m., his Mercury was in Aries.
What drove him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (wide at 4.4°)
The shape of his chart
Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touched everything else in it. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Rabindranath Tagore was born three days before a new Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 7% lit, in Aries. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Tuesday, 45 days before the June solstice.
Saturn return
For Rabindranath Tagore, Saturn came back to where it stood at his birth in 1919, at 58: his second Saturn return, after the first in 1889 and 1890. When is yours?
