Robert Fripp’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

   The Sun opposition the Moon (wide at 3.7°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

   Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them.

   For a birth after 2:46 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

   Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

   Venus trine Jupiter (close at 2.0°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

   Mercury square Pluto (close at 1.1°)

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. Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.

   Mars conjunction Pluto (close at 1.6°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
