Warren Buffet and a Sign of the Times

Warren Buffet is a Virgo, born 1930 August 30 at 1200PM, Omaha, Nebraska.

He has four planets in earth. His Moon is in Sag. 5 or more planets in Cardinal signs.

With this chart, he is practical, down to earth and concerned with comfort and security in the material sense but also relationships. Very reality oriented. Inspiration and conceptual theorizing don't mean as much to him as concrete facts, reality, tangible results, practicaity, oand the application of theory. Pragmatic. "Does it work?" Can I see, feel, touch, the results. Dependable and reliable, not exiting and people who put on airs and live the fast life would find him dull (and he would find them ridiculous). With so many planets in Cardinal signs, he like to start things. Like Berkshire Hathaway. :-)

Going around the Internet:
