Warren Buffett Birth Chart: How his Natal Chart Reflects his Drive for Power, Wealth and Success

Warren Buffett Birth Chart Reading: Natal Wheel

Having an action-oriented chart, with all his angular houses activated by cardinal signs and key planets, the American billionaire Warren Buffett was driven for power, wealth and success. Saturn in Capricorn sits in his first house of the outer self, colouring his pov and approach to life. An entrepreneurial energy which not only shades him with qualities of patience and strategy, it makes an opposition to Mars in Cancer in the 7th house of business contracts and partnerships, giving him the balance to act objectively and aggressively. In the same house, benefic Jupiter conjunct Pluto in another enterprising sign — Cancer, which attracts luck and opportunity with the powerful and wealthy. Venus, in its domicile sign of Libra, adds another layer of luck to Buffett in his career, goals and legacy, while at the bottom of his chart is what gives him the edge of innovation and an inherent trailblazing mission in life with his North Node in Aries conjunct Uranus in the 3rd house of his mind.

Sun in Virgo in 8th House

No doubt it is with the help of his 8th house Sun in Virgo spirit that has created focus and a steady pace towards his success as a business man. The nourishing light of intuition, logic and discernment has guided his souls path to riches. A soul desiring and dreaming of power and wealth with his Virgo Sun conjunct Neptune in the powerful 8th house of investments and shared resources.

His Virgo Sun energy is the perfect balance to the optimistic captain of the ship, Jupiter, shinning its best qualities in Cancer. An energy that has also given Buffett much luck and opportunities in the 7th house of business relationships. He shares the Jupiter Cancer energy with the USA chart. Cancer is known for its keen business sense, giving the native an intuitive and cardinal energy—not afraid to act on intuition. Just like his homeland, expansive Jupiter in the 7th house gives him the propensity, and emotional desire (Mars in Cancer) to want his hand in every cookie jar. And wherever Jupiter sits in our chart, is where we have immunity to calamity and where we find our riches.

“He formed Buffett Partnership Ltd. in 1956, and by 1965 he had assumed control of Berkshire Hathaway. Overseeing the growth of a conglomerate with holdings in the media, insurance, energy and food and beverage industries, Buffett became one of the world’s richest men and a celebrated philanthropist.”

Sagittarius Rising and Moon

With his Jupiter at the helm, it means his rising is found in the opportunistic sign of Sagittarius. A sign that also rules his Moon, natally found in the intuitive 12th house. The theme of intuitive power and self-belief is carried on in the 12th house. Sag at the cusp of his first house gives him great confidence which can also radiate as someone who inspires others through action and outlook. Considered a visionary, he has been nicknamed the “Oracle Omaha”— because he is investment guru living and working in Omaha, Nebraska.

Sagittarians also loves to do things in a big way, loves taking risks. Fortunately, for Buffett the high stakes signs energy is reigned in by Saturn in Capricorn sitting in his 1st house. With responsible planet Saturn in the area of life where it all starts, Buffett characteristically likes to strategize and plan things out. His impressions are calculated and cautious, also giving him a streak of patience and self-discipline.  Saturn trines his Virgo Sun and Neptune, working his discipline and cautious approach towards his investments, using both intuition and reason to make long-term decisions, clearly helping him build his riches.

“Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”—Buffett

Mars in Cancer in the 7th house opposes his Saturn, which has likely been both his challenge and salvation. The warrior planet in the 7th house makes Buffett someone that won’t take any bs from people and is ready to defend his own. The opposition from Saturn indicates the objective balance needed to avoid burning too many bridges—logic and strategy staggers his aggression with others. The action planet in watery Cancer also adds another intuitive layer to his dealings with others, yet can have him react from emotions and the desire to accumulate business relationships. On higher vibration, Mars in Cancer can also act charitably with others and with generous Sag at the helm, and 8th house Virgo Sun and loving Neptune, he has actually given a Goliath chunk of his riches away.

“In June 2006 Buffett made an announcement that he would be giving his entire fortune away to charity, committing 85 percent of it to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This donation became the largest act of charitable giving in United States history. In 2010 Buffett and Gates announced they had formed The Giving Pledge campaign to recruit more wealthy individuals for philanthropic causes.”

Saturn also opposes Jupiter conjunct Pluto in Cancer. A strong push and pull, which gives a dynamic energy that combines self-discipline, patience, building the desire to create wealth and power through larger than life business ventures with others. This gives him the strong belief in forming partnerships and the generative power to create more of it. He is the transformative Phoenix, unafraid to start over again.  A purging energy that may also be a result of his charitable work. His luck, wealth and power are after all expansive and regenerative. The conjunction of Pluto and Jupiter is known to give immense wealth and power to those born with the combo.

Lilith in Aquarius in 2nd House

According to Tom Jacobs in the book Lilith: Healing the Wild, wherever Lilith is located in our chart is where we become a survivor. In its highest vibration, it is the area of life we can be highly resourceful and likely avoid an impoverish state. With Lilith in the house of money, self worth and pleasures, Buffet has built so much material wealth, will still remain secure for the rest of his days, even after he has generously given all of his riches to the less fortunate!

Venus in Libra in 10th House

Venus strong in Libra gives him the fame + love and adoration at the top of his chart. In combination to his strategic and patient moves, luck has always been showered onto his career, goals and status. A kind of double dose of luck since Jupiter sits in his 7th house, a house Venus naturally rules, which essentially makes for a harmonious connection between his career and business partners.

Mercury in Libra in 9th House

Mercury is also in Libra in the 9th house of travel, higher mind and foreigners. Mercury here keeps him level-headed, logical and diplomatic, as well as giving him much worldly charm and cleverness when interacting with foreigners.

Taurus, the other sign that Venus rules, is at the cusp of his 5th house, the gambling house and the house of play. Buffett loves to play(5th house) with money(Taurus), something the billionaire not only is good at but also enjoys.

Uranus and North Node in Aries

Uranus is in Aries in his 3rd house of communication and the way one thinks. The combo here adds to the adventurous, risk-taking way of approaching life. He’s innovative and he stretches himself, acts on flashes of ingenuity and is unafraid of leaping into the unknown. He was considered a genius at a young age.

“Friends and acquaintances have said the young boy was a mathematical prodigy who could add large columns of numbers in his head, a talent he occasionally demonstrated in his later years.”

Warren Buffett is a pioneer to ideas of money and wealth (Aquarius 2nd house cusp), truly something his spirit was inherently meant to accomplish and set aflame with his 4th house North Node, conjunct Uranus in Aries.

“Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.”–Buffett
