Stephen King
Born on 21 September 1947 in Portland. Without a public birth time, no rising sign: here is what the date and place can calculate.
You and Stephen King
What you are trying to become
You spot what is off before looking for it, and you say so. A wrong word, a wrong number, a detail nobody re-read: it jumps out at you.
Mercury rules this sign and is exalted in it, a case unique in the zodiac. The brightest star is Spica, the ear of wheat.
You ask a lot of others, and far more of yourself. What is finished, you rarely see.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Virgo, it gets settled in the details. You spot what is off before looking for it, and you say so.
What settles you
You settle by leaving. A road, a ticket, a plan that takes you elsewhere. When it weighs, you laugh it off and look farther.
The centre of our galaxy lies in the direction of Sagittarius: look toward the archer, and you are looking at the heart of the Milky Way. Jupiter, the largest planet, rules this sign.
You come back when you choose, and you like finding people still there.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
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.
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.
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 fight for your people before you fight for yourself. You come at things sideways, you absorb, then it all comes out at once, often over something small.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
Mars is in its fall in this sign: your anger has a long memory.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
How you think
You think by comparing. You see the other side of every argument, and you say so, sometimes just when you are expected to decide.
You find the wording that upsets nobody. Your own opinion comes later.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs.
