Stephen Wolfram

Stephen Wolfram is a mind that treats the universe as something you can compute. Born in London in 1959 to German-Jewish refugee parents, he was publishing particle-physics papers by fifteen, earned a Caltech PhD by twenty, and became the youngest ever MacArthur Fellow at twenty-one. He built Mathematica, founded Wolfram Research, launched the Wolfram Alpha answer engine, and wrote his sprawling treatise, A New Kind of Science, arguing that simple programs, not classical equations, underlie the fabric of nature.

His Sun in Virgo shines exactly as Gaia describes that sign: not through the limelight but through hard work, service and the intellect, the jack of all arts who insists on being master of all. From the seventh house it lights up through partnership and dialogue, the fair-minded mediator forever seeing the other side of the coin.

His Moon in Cancer is the Moon at home, a double-whammy Moon of deep feeling and sharp intuition, dropped into the sixth house of daily work and health, where peace of mind flows from a routine kept perfectly on top of.

His Capricorn Ascendant is the old-soul mask: patient, stoic, the boss who simply waits.
