Billy Joel’s birth chart
Mars in Taurus
9 May 1949, 09:30, Bronxville, NY, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Billy as “you”.
Mars is a planet of physical energy and action. It rules the Aries sign and traditionally (before Pluto was discovered) also Scorpio. Mars is also one of the personal planets, because on average it stays in one sign for less than 2 months and therefore has an important influence on our personality.
In personal horoscope, Mars is connected to action, energy, competitiveness, hot-bloodedness and impetuousness. The position of Mars tells us in what way and in what form you express your activity. Mars also indicates your ambitions and the work you do, which is connected to these ambitions.
Mars in Taurus
You are stubborn and firm, at your job you are reliable, hard-working, persistent and you can even do laboring work. Perhaps you do your work slowly, but you get things done systematically, methodically and responsibly. In your youth, you might be prone to being lazy, because you find it difficult to get something started at once and on the spur of the moment. Whatever you do is well considered and thought through. But when you do start doing it, you rarely leave things unfinished. You are popular among co-workers or as boss, because of your fair and reliable personality, however, you often like arguments and quarrels and may even become involved (although, fortunately, not often) in a fight.
Mars in 11th house
Often you focus all your life and all your energy to charity and similar projects. You are a humanist, involved in fighting for human and animal rights, you are interested in ecology. You work very well in groups or under patronage of a bigger organization, you yourself often introduce novelties into existing and accepted systems – in science and spirituality or in computer science and mathematics. You like making all sorts of acquaintances and friendships, but you are basically a naive person and aren't always the best judge of what company is actually cool for you.
Mars as culminating planet
Because Mars is your culminating planet, you have a strong will and a lot of work energy and drive. You are a natural warrior and leader and although you are not always the most tactful person, people follow you because of your enthusiasm, life strength and energy, which you usually radiate. Whatever you do, you do with enthusiasm. You are often successful in politics, army, also sport. With your direct approach, competitiveness and combativeness, you get on people's nerves and often meet people who put a spoke in your wheel.
Mars square Jupiter
You are usually energetic, decisive, ambitious and enterprising, but you don't have too much sense of hierarchy and you don't always respect the natural course of things and events. You don't like phases that are too slow and you are prone to jumping over or speeding up procedures because of your desire to reach the goal as soon as possible, sometimes also at all costs and with some aggression, with which you can also waste some good opportunities. You are passionate and impulsive, you have a certain inner restlessness and also dissatisfaction, which you try to satisfy with doing business and/or accumulating goods.
