Rick Riordan’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

   Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.

   The Sun quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.7°)

2. What he needs

   ☽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.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

   Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

   Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

   Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 2.1°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Steady, strong and very patient. He keeps going long after others stop. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

   Mars opposition Neptune (wide at 5.8°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his mind, his drive and his optimism (Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
