Nick Drake’s birth chart

Nick Drake's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Gemini

   ♊ 27° Gemini 49'

   purpose and vitality

   Their vitality comes from variety, and purpose feels most real when Nick is learning or explaining something new. The tension is scattering their energy across too many half-finished things at once. It shows up as the stack of open tabs and the three hobbies Nick is juggling this month.

2. ☽Moon in Sagittarius

   ♐ 0° Sagittarius 33'

   needs and habits

   They need room to move and a bit of novelty in their routine to feel emotionally well. A schedule with no give in it makes they edgy faster than most people expect. It shows up as planning the next trip before the current one has even finished.

3. ☿Mercury in Cancer

   ♋ 5° Cancer 12' ℞

   mind and voice

   They think in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and they communicate best when there is emotional trust in the room. The tension is letting mood colour how a fact gets delivered or received. It shows up as remembering exactly how a conversation felt years after the details have faded.

4. ♀Venus in Cancer

   ♋ 6° Cancer 10' ℞

   love and values

   They love by nurturing, and they value emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. The tension is holding onto old hurts long after the person who caused them has changed. It shows up as feeding people, checking on people and quietly keeping score of who has shown up for they.

5. ♂Mars in Virgo

   ♍ 14° Virgo 36'

   drive and anger

   They act carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and their anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. The tension is criticising instead of confronting when Nick is actually upset. It shows up as a clipped tone that signals frustration well before they say anything directly.

6. ♃Jupiter in Sagittarius

   ♐ 23° Sagittarius 33' ℞

   growth and excess

   They grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than their usual life. The overreach is promising more than circumstances can deliver, fuelled by genuine optimism rather than dishonesty. It shows up as a faith that things will work out that, more often than average, turns out to be right.

7. ♄Saturn in Leo

   ♌ 19° Leo 01'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around genuine self-expression, often held back early by a fear of being laughed at or overlooked. The doubt shows up as downplaying their own achievements before anyone else can. It shows up as a hard-won, unshowy confidence that arrives once they stop waiting for permission to be seen.

8. ♅Uranus in Gemini

   ♊ 26° Gemini 24'

   freedom, generational

   Shared by an entire generational span, this placement marks people who come of age alongside a communication revolution, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. Personally, it can show up as a restless need for new information.

9. ♆Neptune in Libra

   ♎ 10° Libra 12' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by media images of love that outpace real relationships. Personally, it can show up as a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 13° Leo 13'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. Personally, it can show up as a charged relationship with authority and who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects

How the planets in Nick Drake's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Mercury conjunction Venus

   1.0° applying

   Their thinking and their sense of what they love are closely linked, so they talk about affection and beauty with real ease. This gives they a naturally diplomatic, pleasant way of expressing themselves, especially when the subject is close to their heart.

2. Sun conjunction Uranus

   1.4° separating

   Their identity is built around independence, and they resist being defined by anyone else's expectations of who they should be. This makes they original and hard to predict, and the tension is a restlessness with routines that could actually serve they.

3. Jupiter opposition Uranus

   2.8° separating

   They feel a pull between expanding along a familiar path and an urge to break from it entirely for something untested. Neither impulse needs to win completely, and testing the new direction on a smaller scale first tends to serve they well.

4. Neptune sextile Pluto

   3.0° separating

   Shared by this generation, the placement marks collective imagination and transformation cooperating gently, with relatively little friction. Personally, it can show up as cultural belief shifting alongside deeper change with real ease.
