William Morris’ 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. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

   The Sun sextile Neptune (close at 2.2°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

   Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.

   For a birth after 11:45 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Aries, the Chaser

   Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

   Venus opposition Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Aries, the Spark

   Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.

   Mercury conjunction Pluto (close at 1.2°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

   Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Electric: he acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.

   Mars conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
