What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun square Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)
What he needs
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reach him as if they are his own.
The Moon conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)
How he loves
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves with steadiness and staying power. Takes commitment seriously and builds something lasting. A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
Venus conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.3°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mars opposition Saturn (wide at 3.7°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his feelings, his mind and his imagination (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
RuPaul was born the day before a new Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 2% lit, in Scorpio. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Thursday, 34 days before the December solstice.
