Sugar Ray Robinson’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉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 knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

   The Sun square Neptune (close at 1.7°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Pisces, the Tide

   Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.

   The Moon opposition Saturn (wide at 3.3°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Aries, the Chaser

   Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested.

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

   Mercury sextile Pluto (close at 2.4°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Steady, strong and very patient. He kept going long after others stopped.

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
