Tom Brady

Tom Brady was built to sit at the top of the mountain, and the sky agrees. His Sun blazes in Leo, the lion in his own domicile, the star at the centre of its own solar system whom everyone else orbits; and it shines from the tenth house, the very peak of the chart, the Sun at noon. This is the giant while the rest of us are the little ants circling below, a rare karmic blessing of natural leadership and inescapable public life. It is no accident that a man with this signature became the quarterback most people call the greatest ever to play the game.

Born on the third of August, 1977, he went to Michigan and then waited: chosen 199th overall in the 2000 draft, an afterthought who turned into the sport's most famous steal. His Moon in Aries explains the engine. This is a warrior's Moon, masculine and Martian, that finds its peace not in softness but in action, in being the soldier, the general, the competitor. He feels safe only when driving forward.

His Libra Ascendant gave him the polished, symmetrical, magnetic mask the cameras loved. Across twenty-three seasons, seven Super Bowl rings, records almost beyond counting, the lion simply refused to stop shining.
