Uranus in Taurus and the AC motor Westinghouse licensed in 1888

Nikola Tesla

Astrologers tie Uranus to electricity and invention, so Uranus in Taurus is the line to read first.

Tesla's AC induction motor and polyphase patents were licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888 and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system, which fits Taurus wanting things solid.

Tesla also built a wirelessly controlled boat, among the first wirelessly controlled vehicles built.

Mars in Libra is read as working through partners, and on paper that matches the partners who financed and marketed the ideas.

Only in this chart

Nikola Tesla is the only chart in NEBO's celebrity base with Moon in Libra, Mercury in Gemini and Saturn in Cancer at once. Francis Crick comes closest: same Mercury and Saturn, but Moon in Virgo.

  • Mercury in Gemini with Mars in Libra. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 229 here, Rebecca Black and Artem Dovbyk among them.
  • Moon and Venus swap signs. Moon in Libra and Venus in Cancer each sit in the other's sign, called mutual reception, also in Carl Jung's chart, 1 chart in 184 here.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Cancer Sun reads as protective and loyal, a Libra Moon as charming and fair: signs at a right angle, so outer self and inner self argue, the same pair Alan Turing carries. Elements run air 36%, water 35%, earth 25%, fire 4%, cardinal first at 73%, the nearest mix to Romain Rolland.

Planets

Red dashes: Moon square Venus (0.0°), Sun square Mars (1.0°).

Tightest aspects

  • Saturn sextile Pluto (0.0°). Self-control gets an easy opening from the need for control, and only Victoria Monét has it tighter.
  • Moon square Venus (0.8°). The mood keeps colliding with taste, which only a known birth hour can show.
