Reza Pahlavi

Reza Pahlavi was born to a crown he would never wear, and his chart reads like the story of a man remade by exile. His Sun shines in Scorpio, the sign of death and rebirth, the eagle and the phoenix that keeps rising from the ashes; a survivor's soul, strategic and deep, who reads people and situations from miles away. Fittingly, that Sun sits in the ninth house of philosophy, foreign lands and the wider world, the placement of the true global citizen and the moralist, the one whose whole life becomes a journey across borders in pursuit of an idea.

Born on the thirty-first of October, 1960, the eldest son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and Empress Farah Diba, he was the last crown prince of Iran until the 1979 revolution swept the throne away. From exile he founded the National Council of Iran and became a persistent voice against the Islamic Republic. His Moon in Pisces is the empath's Moon, compassionate and tuned to something larger than politics, drawn toward the fate of a people; placed in the second house, it binds his sense of worth to what endures rather than what is owned.

A Capricorn Ascendant lent the composed, patient, old-soul statesman's mask.
