Sterling Hayden’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

   Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.

   The Sun square the Moon (almost exact at 0.3°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

   Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed.

   For a birth before 1:44 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

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. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

   Venus square Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

   Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

   Mercury sextile Venus (close at 1.0°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Leo, the Leader

   Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

   Mars trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
