Robin Williams’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

   The Sun sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Pisces, the Tide

   Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.

   The Moon opposition Venus (close at 2.1°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

   Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

   Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.

   Mercury conjunction Pluto (wide at 3.1°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Cancer, the Defender

   Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Electric: he acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.

   Mars conjunction Uranus (close at 1.0°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his drive and his independence (the Sun, Mars and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
