Stephen Colbert’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

   The Sun opposition Neptune (wide at 6.6°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Gemini, the Talker

   Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

   Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

   Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.7°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

   Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 2.3°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Slow and sure. He does not rush, and he is hard to push off course. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

   Mars sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind, his drive and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
