Larry King

To sit across from Larry King was to feel truly seen, and that gift lived in his chart. Born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger on 19 November 1933 in New York City to Jewish immigrants from Belarus, he carried a Scorpio Sun: magnetic, penetrating, the eagle who reads people at a glance and never blinks. That Sun shone from his tenth house, the very throne at the top of the chart, the Sun at noon, one of the most visible placements there is. It made fame almost inevitable. Over more than fifty thousand interviews, from all-night radio in 1978 to Larry King Live on CNN from 1985 to 2010, he became the giant everyone else circled.

His Moon in Sagittarius gave him an emotional nature that needed freedom, curiosity and the open road, the born philosopher happiest talking about God, politics and the human story. Placed in his eleventh house of people and community, that Moon tied his wellbeing to connection; he was the shoulder the whole world leaned on. Rising in Capricorn, he wore the old soul's steady mask. Two Peabodys and an Emmy later, Larry kept asking questions until his death in 2021, aged eighty-seven.
