Robert F. Kennedy’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

   Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

   The Sun square Neptune (wide at 3.1°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

   Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.

   For a birth after 5:48 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

   Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

   Venus opposition Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

   Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

   Mercury square Uranus (close at 1.9°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

   Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go.

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his drive and his discipline (the Sun, Mars and Saturn) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
