What his chart says about him
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 (almost exact at 0.1°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.
The Moon conjunction Mercury (close at 2.1°)
How he loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves with steadiness and staying power. Takes commitment seriously and builds something lasting. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
Venus opposition Pluto (close at 2.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.
Mercury quincunx Pluto (close at 1.7°)
What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go.
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.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Rock Hudson was born the day after a new Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 3% lit, in Sagittarius. Tonight’s Moon
The day
