Sam Harris built a career out of charging headlong at the questions most people tiptoe around: religion, free will, ethics, consciousness. Born in Los Angeles in 1967 to a Western-film actor and a television writer who created The Golden Girls, he rose to prominence with The End of Faith in 2004, became one of the so-called Four Horsemen of New Atheism, and later a neuroscientist, meditation teacher and host of the widely followed Making Sense podcast.
His chart is unusually single-minded: both Sun and Moon in Aries, the pioneer-warrior. This is the double-Mars temperament, the self-starter who gets up on the saddle no matter what, never backing down, thriving on being first into a fight. His Sun in the third house of communication and debate makes him the go-getter who shines through words and argument; his Moon in the second house ties peace of mind to his own values and worth. He finds emotional footing only in action, in charging forward.
A Capricorn Ascendant lends the stoic, old-soul mask of the boss, patient and self-disciplined, the crocodile who waits. That is the deliberate scholar who spent years meditating in India and earned a PhD in neuroscience before returning to the public arena.
