Michel Foucault
Born on 15 October 1926 in Poitiers. Without a public birth time, no rising sign: here is what the date and place can calculate.
You and Michel Foucault
What you are trying to become
You tune yourself to whoever is across from you. You sense what they expect, you adjust, you look for the right word, and sometimes you no longer know what you wanted.
Libra is the only sign of the zodiac that isn’t a living thing: it is an instrument. It weighs, and it stops only when both pans are level.
What you are trying to become, you look for with someone. Injustice is the one thing you do not weigh.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
What draws you
What draws you is beautiful and composed: a steady voice, a well-arranged room, someone who knows how to talk to people. Rudeness cools you in a second.
Venus is at home in this sign. You are looking for a real face-to-face, with someone at your level.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
What gets you moving
You do not start fast, and you do not stop either. People can push you for a long time and get nowhere. Your anger takes months to come, and as long to leave.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
Mars is in detriment in this sign. Your strength is holding on.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
How you think
You think by digging. You hear what people do not say, and you ask the awkward question.
The brightest star of the constellation is Antares: the rival of Mars. Mars rules this sign in the old astrology, Pluto in the new.
You say little, and you aim true.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go.
