T. S. Eliot’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

   Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

   The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.7°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Gemini, the Talker

   Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.

   The Moon sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

   Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

   Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 2.0°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace.

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

   Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

   Mars opposition Pluto (wide at 4.9°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
