Yves Saint Laurent’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Leo, the Bright One

   Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

   The Sun square Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

   Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Leo, the Romantic

   Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

   Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.1°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

   Mercury trine Jupiter (wide at 3.3°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Cancer, the Defender

   Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

   Mars trine Saturn (close at 2.4°)

6. The shape of his chart

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