BILL GATES CHART INTERPRETATION
If I were a rich
man….Bill Gates needs not sing this song. He IS a rich man. The question is if western
fusion astrology is able to show the indications for richness in his
birthchart. Let us see…
1.
The chart has a special way of dividing
the planets. The moon is very important being the top placed object. The moon
is also the ONLY object above the horizon.
<Remarkable: Venus is weak in
Scorpio, Mars is weak in Libra and Uranus is weak in Leo. Venus and Mars are in
mutual reception according to traditional astrology because Venus in Scorpio is
ruled by Mars in Libra (who’s ruler is Venus)
His public image is determined by his activities on the job and that is
THE item of this chart. But very important too: Family!
2.
There is an element missing. I have seen elements missing in more cases of people climbing up high
(like in the charts of famous women). Otherwise there are enough objects in fire,
water and air. Mind you: water is Scorpio here! I think Scorpio is totally
differrent kind of water. It is damp water, frozen water but never liquid,
fluid water. That makes Scorpio not easy to be influenced, like the other
waterelements.
A strongly focused but reasonable balanced person. Missing element
earth is indicationg that he will never be satisfied with the results.
3.
Sun (ruler second house) is in Scorpio in the fifth. Moon (ruler first house) is in Aries in the ninth. Ascendant
is Cancer and Uranus is in the first house.
A lot of energy and power. He is demonstrating
indipendance and originality.
4.
Jupiter conjunct Pluto in the second
equal hous of money and posession is the narrowest aspect in the chart. Even more narrow (if the hour of birth is exactly correct) is the
aspect of Northern Node square MC. Next narrow aspect is Venus conjunct Saturn
in Scorpio (wideliy squaring Pluto).
Enormous potential for growing in the financial area. Common
goals or being able to obtain something together with others.
Possible denying feelings of sympathy or love, wants to do his duty and
job first. Venus is afflicted by Pluto: an urge for possessions.
5.
Midpoints indicating success and growth
are:
Jupiter square Sun/Nodes and 135 degrees
from Sun/MC
Jupiter and Pluto conjunct Mars/Ascendant
Node and MC square /opposite Mars/Jupiter
and Mars/Pluto
These are eight indications! Five of them are limited to the exact hour of birth of Bill Gates.
Another indication for potencial growth.
6.
The ascendant receives a square from
Mercury and Mars and trines the conjunction of Venus and Saturn.
This makes him a fast thinker (and able fibber), but he seems
sympathetic and serious too.
7.
The MC afflicts Sun and Nodes and is in
harmonious connection to Venus and Saturn. Midpointcombination is
MC=Mercury/Saturn in the sign of Pisces.
He works to be a star, toghether with a team, doing his work with love. He
has a profession that requires hard thinking. The profession has to do with the
media, faith, movies or ideals (Pisces).
8.
Possibilities for success and expansion
in the progressive chart: progressive
Sun conjuncted Venus and Saturn first and when he was 22 squared Jupiter and Pluto. The MC is on Jupiter and Pluto when he
is 35.
CONCLUSION
Bill Gates is a person
who can focuss strongly on a certain goal (indications: lack of element, exclusive
position of the Moon in the tenth and strong character). He has an enormous
drive and energy and works hard. He does something unique (Uranus in the first house). Money is
the motivation for all this work (second house ruler ruled by Pluto in second house) .
The indications for the way he makes his
money are in the MC, tenth house and midpointcombinations. The MC indicates the
media or the not tangible products like faith, ideals, pictures, movies and fantasy).
The internet is such a product. The traditional ruler of Pisces is Jupiter,
being conjunct to Pluto, the planet of the masses. Massmedia! Bill
Gates is known for his charicative attitude. He gives away lots of money for the benefit of others.
That is Pisces MC too!
PROGESSIONS (did he get a chance?)
Jupiter and Pluto (the planets for growth and challenges) keep coming back in
the progressive chart whenever there is an important moment to become rich(er). Combinations of positions or planets with Jupiter and Pluto are indications for success.
His parents were lawyer and teacher
(both ‘Jupiter’ professions). At the age of thirteen (primairy MC trine Uranus)
he began to
Use a computer. When he was 17
(progressive Sun conjunct Saturn, MC conjumct Moon and progressive Moon square Jupiter and Pluto.he
sold his first programm! When MC was opposite Mars in 1975 he and two of his friends
(remember the Northern Nodes in his chart!) started Microsoft. The breakthrough
was in 1980 (with primairy Pluto and
Jupiter on the MC and progressive Moon opposite Jupiter and Pluto at the same
time).
He is married to an employee of
Microsoft he got to know in 1987. Marriage date was 1.1.1994.
The have 3 children. Gates is known as a ‘familyman’. In 1994 the progressive
moon sextiled the Venus/Saturn conjunction. Primairy Venus made a beautiful trine that year. With…Jupiter and Pluto.

NICE LINK to overview of Bill Gates'house.
15th of June 2006 Bill Gates announced his withdrawel from Microsoft (to spend more time on his charity foundation) in July 2008. That is when Progressed Sun is sextile Neptune, a perfect symbol, even more because Neptune is the planet for voluntairy work and idealism.
