Robert E. Lee’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

   Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

   The Sun square Uranus (close at 1.5°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

   Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.

   The Sun trine the Moon (close at 1.5°) · For a birth before 11:30 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

   Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

   Venus sextile Neptune (close at 2.0°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

   Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

   Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 2.9°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

   Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

   Mars trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
