Sidney Poitier’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

   Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

   The Sun square Mars (close at 1.8°)

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. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

   The Moon square Pluto (close at 1.0°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

   Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

   Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 4.8°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

   Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

   Mercury trine Pluto (wide at 3.9°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

   Mars sextile Uranus (close at 1.5°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart, his optimism and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
