Randy Rhoads’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

   Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

   The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 8.0°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Cool Head

   Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

   The Moon opposition Uranus (close at 1.9°) · For a birth before 2:17 a.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

   Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less.

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

   Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.

   Mercury square Jupiter (close at 1.6°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Aries or Pisces, the Trailblazer

   Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.

   Mars quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth before 3:24 a.m., his Mars was in Pisces.

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
