Richie Sambora’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

   The Sun trine Jupiter (wide at 3.6°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

   Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.

   For a birth after 8:27 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

   Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. A deep, private heart: he draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.

   Venus conjunction Pluto (exact at 0.0°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

   Mercury conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Leo, the Leader

   Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

   Mars square Jupiter (close at 2.3°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his mind, his drive and his independence (Mercury, Mars and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
