Walter Mondale’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

   Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

   The Sun opposition Pluto (close at 1.9°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

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

   For a birth after 9:28 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

   Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

   Venus trine Uranus (close at 2.3°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

   Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

   The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 2.0°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

   Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Controlled force: he worked with patience and grit, and he finished what he started.

   Mars conjunction Saturn (wide at 6.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his heart, his drive and his discipline (Venus, Mars and Saturn) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
