Roddy Piper’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

   Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. 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 opposition Neptune (close at 2.6°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

   Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.

   The Moon sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.3°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

   Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

   Venus sextile Uranus (close at 2.8°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Aries, the Spark

   Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.

   Mercury quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

   Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

   The Sun trine Mars (wide at 4.6°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touched everything else in it.
