Voltaire birth chart analysis

Main element: fire
5 of the 10 planets of Voltaire are in fire signs: a chart that leans on action, enthusiasm and courage.
A cluster of planets: Sagittarius
Sun, Mercury and Mars are all in Sagittarius. When 3 planets share one sign (a stellium), that sign colors the whole life. It falls in house 7, the place of partners and close relationships.
Chart ruler: Mercury
With Gemini rising, Mercury leads the chart. It sits in Sagittarius, in house 7: the story of Voltaire keeps coming back to partners and close relationships.
Strong planets on the angles
Jupiter (the IC, the bottom of the chart), Mercury (the descendant) and Uranus (the rising point). A planet close to an angle is one of the loudest voices in a birth chart: you see it in the life and in how other people perceive Voltaire.
Where the Sun shines: house 7
The Sun of Voltaire is in house 7, the house of partners and close relationships. This is where the energy goes and where recognition tends to come from.
Retrograde planets
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde at birth. Seen from Earth, a retrograde planet seems to walk backwards: its themes tend to be lived inwardly first, revisited and reworked.
