Paulo Coehlo, born on this day - August 24, 1947 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - a few astro-musings. The defining imperatives of Paulos life are his need to express his artistic vision, his quest for inner truth and to lead a spiritually authentic life. Looking at his astrology chart, we see an on the cusp Virgo Sun, a Sagittarius Moon and a Taurus Ascendant. What is significant is that the Virgo Sun at nearly 0 degrees is conjunct Venus & Mercury in Leo. His core nature is an artful one, and also one which needs to express (Leo) that artfulness in colorful ways. Whenever we find a Venus-Mercury conjunction - we expect to see some relationship to the arts or crafts or even aesthetic discernment alone. That these planets are all found in the mercury house of communication (the 3rd) makes his imperative all that much stronger. He had successfully created a career as a song lyricist and theatre afficionado before finally settling into writing - which was his dream. The planetary stellium just referred to is in tension/square to his Taurus Ascendantm which might like to ground in a secure way of living, so he has balanced his artistic drive with his earthy nature - in his daily life of travel and pleasures. His Moon in Sag defines a paradoxical home base within himself of freedom seeking and exploration - and in his case, true to Sag - is in pursuit of higher knowledge and the big picture. That tendency to go for the truth is echoed in a different way by Jupiter in Scorpio conjunct the South Node (making the NNode right on his Ascendant. Jupiter is squaring Saturn and Pluto in Leo, and he has found it a trial and error and trial by fire process in this life to find his truth. No cakewalk for Paulo. He was committed to a mental hospital by his parents in his teens as Pluto went into the 4th house, but thats a longer study. From the Human Design point of view, he is called a 6-3 Manifesting Generator, sacral defined which is an action oriented being - someone inclined to respond to the world with initiation. Many of his quotes are about action, but also waiting for the right time to act - which shows on his part an understanding of the nature of doing that he is meant to do - which involves waiting for the right internal response. Always more to say. someone else comment, please.
