Orson Welles, screenwriter, was born on May 6, 1915 in Kenosha. With the Sun in Taurus, Orson's chart begins from a Taurus core. Without a recorded birth time, the Moon and angles can't be pinned precisely, but the planetary placements by date still hold.
Astrological profile
The Sun in solid Taurus roots the chart in a practical, sensual sensibility that seeks security through tangible results and a steady appreciation of beauty. Mercury shares this earthy tone, favoring a methodical, patient mind that values concrete expression over fleeting ideas. Yet the chart’s dynamic core is set by both Venus and Mars in bold Aries, injecting a restless drive for personal initiative in relationships and a pioneering, sometimes impulsive, approach to desire and ambition. This blend of fixed earth and cardinal fire creates a temperament that can be both patient and instantly decisive, craving both lasting value and the thrill of new ventures.
An Aquarius Moon, though approximate, casts a cool, intellectual hue over the emotional landscape, encouraging detachment, originality, and a strong interest in collective causes. Uranus in Aquarius reinforces this need for innovation and freedom, while Saturn in communicative Gemini adds a disciplined, structured way of handling ideas. Jupiter’s dreamy Pisces tone softens the chart, offering expansive empathy and a vivid imagination, while Neptune and Pluto in nurturing Cancer deepen the inner world with intuitive, transformative currents tied to home and heritage. Together these placements suggest a personality that balances tangible persistence with inventive, socially‑oriented ideals.
