Celebrity Natal Charts: Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods is an icon for many across the world -- proof that great things can be achieved by those with ordinary lives, and proof that youth is no barrier to success. Today we are delving a little deeper into the planetary imprints of Tiger Woods' natal chart, seeing what makes the man tick in astrological terms.

Tiger Woods was born in Long Beach, California, at 10:50 p.m., on Tuesday, December 30, 1975.

Sun in Capricorn

The sun was in Capricorn at Tiger Woods' time of birth, making him goal-oriented, ambitious, and giving him a love of money, according to natal chart interpretation guidelines. Tradition is very important with this aspect of a chart, and there is almost no game more traditional than golf! Capricorns tend to use their skills in expedience to initiate a slow rise through the ranks of their chosen profession, and even in relationships. However, a false sense of pride or ego can mar success in these natal charts.

Sun in the Fourth House

Despite the sense of expediency that people with the Sun in Capricorn have, the combination of this with Capricorn in the Fourth house makes family and early relationships very important. This aspect of Tiger Woods natal chart means that inside, he is constantly searching for connections between his past and present life.

Virgo Ascendant, Pisces Descendant

The face that Tiger Woods shows to the World, his Ascendant, is Virgo -- detail oriented, perfectionist, tidy and very self confident. This self confidence could boost his false sense of ego that having the Sun in Capricorn creates. Tiger's perception of the world is mostly mentally based, rather than emotionally based or spiritually based. He is practical and logical.

The Piscean descendant in his natal chart, though, means that underneath all that practicality Tiger Woods definitely has a more spiritual side. The intuition of Pisces helps Tiger Woods understand people and their motivations quite well, and brings a tenderness to his relationships.

Mercury in Capricorn

This positioning in Tiger Woods natal chart creates an easy ability to concentrate and a naturally good memory. The attention to detail of this aspect extends the Virgo ascendant, and adds dignity and earnestness.
