David Lee Jones's chart reveals a deeply intuitive and nurturing soul... someone who feels everything, protects what they love, and finds identity through emotional connection. With a Cancer Sun in the 11th house, their sense of purpose is expressed through the domain of community and vision... a placement that shapes how they show up in the world and what they're here to do.
Beneath the surface, a Pisces Moon speaks to what David needs emotionally... creative escape, spiritual connection, and permission to dissolve into something larger. This is the private self, the part that exists when the spotlight fades.
The world meets David through Virgo rising... composed, thoughtful, and detail-oriented... someone who appears to have everything together. This is the lens through which all of their chart's energy is filtered, the first thing people sense before they know the full story.
Their drive is emotionally fueled... they fight fiercest for the people they love. With 3 retrograde planets in their natal chart, much of David's energy is directed inward... a rich inner world that fuels their outer expression. A concentration of planets in Cancer gives David's chart a strong Cancer emphasis... amplifying the themes of that sign throughout their life.

Chart Interpretations
Sun in Cancer in House 11
Your Sun in Cancer in the eleventh house ties your sense of self and life purpose to deep, emotionally meaningful friendships and community involvement rooted in genuine care and the desire to protect what is most vulnerable. Cancer is cardinal water ruled by the Moon, and in the 11th house's domain of collective belonging those qualities produce someone who nurtures their social circles with a consistency and attentiveness that transforms communities from networks into something that genuinely feels like chosen family. You take on protective and organizing roles in groups, you remember what matters to the people you're connected with, and you bring an emotional quality to collective endeavors that turns shared goals into shared bonds. Your sense of purpose is often connected to serving or protecting communities ... causes that help vulnerable populations, communities that create genuine safety for people who are struggling. To work with this energy consciously, direct your social and civic energy toward causes where emotional authenticity is valued as much as strategic effectiveness ... your capacity for genuine care transforms groups, and that transformation is most complete when the community is large enough to genuinely need it. The honest challenge is cliquishness: Cancer in the 11th's desire for emotional safety in community can create an inner circle that excludes newcomers in ways that contradict the genuinely caring values this placement embodies, and the growth is extending the same warmth outward that you offer inward.
Moon in Pisces in House 7
Your Moon in Pisces in the seventh house places your deeply empathic, spiritually sensitive emotional nature at the center of committed partnerships, where soulmate connection, spiritual bonding, and compassionate devotion are your deepest and most non-negotiable relationship needs. The seventh house governs marriage and one-on-one bonds, and Pisces ... a mutable water sign ... brings extraordinary compassion, romantic idealism, and a desire for transcendent union to these intimate connections. This placement means you seek nothing less than a spiritual partnership ... a relationship that transcends ordinary human bonding and feels divinely guided or karmically destined. Your capacity for unconditional love, profound empathy, and selfless devotion in close relationships is genuinely extraordinary and deeply moving to those who receive it. The invitation here is to notice maintaining a clear sense of your own individual identity, needs, and boundaries within relationships rather than dissolving into your partner's reality or sacrificing your wellbeing on the altar of romantic idealism. Consciously develop your own interests, friendships, and sense of self independently of your partnership. Your gift for deeply spiritual, compassionately devoted, and genuinely transcendent partnership is one of the most beautiful qualities in the zodiac ... grounding it in self-knowledge and clear boundaries ensures it becomes a source of mutual healing rather than self-loss.
Mercury in Gemini in House 10
Your Mercury in Gemini in the tenth house places full-strength, full-dignity Mercury squarely at the center of your public identity and professional reputation ... how you think, how you communicate, and how your mind works is the core of how the professional world knows you, and what it encounters is a mind that is genuinely versatile, quick, and adaptable across contexts. Mercury rules Gemini and operates at its peak; in the tenth house of career and public standing, that peak performance is visible to the world. You are known professionally as someone who communicates with genuine skill, who can navigate multiple contexts with ease, and who generates ideas with a consistency that more single-track thinkers cannot match. To work with this energy consciously, develop a professional identity that has genuine depth and a clear signature alongside your wide-ranging versatility ... the professional reputation that endures is both capable of range and known for something specific. The growth edge is that mutable air in the very public tenth house can produce a reputation for brilliance that lacks the solidity of demonstrated mastery; the growth work is committing to genuine expertise in at least one domain as the anchor of your professional brand.
Venus in Cancer in House 11
Your Venus in Cancer in the eleventh house brings emotional warmth, loyalty, and a nurturing spirit to your friendships, group affiliations, and social ideals. You treat your friends like family, offering genuine care and emotional support that creates deep, lasting bonds. Your social circle may be relatively small but intensely close, and you prefer intimate gatherings over large, impersonal events. Group involvement appeals most when it centers on community care, family advocacy, or creating safe spaces for vulnerable people. Your vision for the future emphasizes emotional well-being, family support, and compassionate social structures. The challenge is cliquishness ... your desire for emotional safety in groups can create an inner circle that excludes newcomers. Consciously work to extend your natural warmth beyond your established comfort zone, welcoming new people into your circle with the same care you show your oldest friends.
Mars in Cancer in House 11
Your Mars in Cancer in the eleventh house brings nurturing, emotionally invested energy to friendships, community, and collective causes. You are the heart of your social circle ... the one who remembers birthdays, checks in when someone is struggling, and holds the group together through care rather than charisma. You are drawn to causes involving children, families, housing, or community welfare. The challenge is that emotional investment in groups can lead to hurt feelings when the collective doesn't reciprocate your level of care. The insight: channel your protective drive into causes and communities where it is genuinely needed and appreciated, and your impact is profound.
Jupiter in Sagittarius in House 4
℞Your Jupiter in Sagittarius in the fourth house brings domicile Jupiter's warmth, philosophical depth, and love of freedom to your home life, family roots, and emotional foundation. Your home may feel like a cultural crossroads ... filled with books, artifacts from travels, and an atmosphere of intellectual openness. You may have grown up in a family that valued education, travel, or philosophical exploration, or you create that environment now. Home needs to feel spacious and free; you struggle in domestic environments that feel restrictive or provincial. Emotional security comes from a sense of meaning and purpose rather than material stability alone. You may live abroad at some point or maintain connections to multiple cultural homes. The challenge is restlessness that prevents you from putting down roots. Allow yourself to belong somewhere deeply while maintaining your love of freedom, and your home becomes the inspiring base camp from which every great adventure begins.
Saturn in Pisces in House 7
℞Your Saturn in Pisces in the seventh house brings compassion, spiritual depth, and a tendency toward idealization to your closest partnerships. You may have learned early that relationships require both love and clear boundaries ... that Pisces' capacity for merging and dissolution must be balanced by Saturn's demand for individual integrity and conscious agreement. Partners may have been elusive, sacrificial, artistically gifted, or in need of significant care, and learning to love without losing yourself is a central relationship lesson. The gift of this placement is the capacity for deep spiritual companionship ... a partnership where two people genuinely witness each other's souls. What you build in love with patience and clarity is both tender and enduring.
Uranus in Taurus in House 9
Your Uranus in Taurus in the ninth house channels innovation into your philosophical outlook, educational pursuits, and experience of foreign cultures. Taurus is fixed earth, giving your beliefs a grounded, practical quality, while Uranus ensures your worldview keeps evolving in unexpected directions. As a generational placement, your cohort transforms educational institutions, religious structures, and global trade, and with Uranus in your ninth house, you are personally drawn to philosophies that blend ancient wisdom with modern innovation. Travel may play a significant role in your development, particularly journeys that engage your senses and change your relationship with material reality. You may be drawn to study ecology, sustainable economics, or fields that reimagine humanity's relationship with the physical world. The challenge is avoiding dogmatic attachment to your own progressive ideas, since Taurus fixity combined with Uranian conviction can make you surprisingly rigid. When you hold your beliefs with open hands, your philosophical contributions carry both practical wisdom and genuine originality.
Neptune in Virgo in House 1
Your Neptune in Virgo in the first house places the planet of dreams and dissolution in Virgo, where Neptune is in its detriment ... creating a productive tension between Neptune's desire to transcend and Virgo's need for precision and practical usefulness. Neptune in Virgo is generational, but the first house makes this interplay personally defining. You present to the world as thoughtful, discerning, and service-oriented, with a quality of careful attention that others find trustworthy. Your idealism is practical: you are most inspired when your vision can be made genuinely useful. The practical insight is to befriend Neptune's ambiguity enough to let your carefully ordered world be occasionally disrupted by inspiration, knowing that your exceptional capacity for refinement will help you make something excellent of it.
Pluto in Cancer in House 11
Your Pluto in Cancer in the eleventh house directs transformative emotional energy toward friendships, community involvement, and your vision for a better future. Cancer's cardinal water nature makes you deeply invested in the emotional wellbeing of your social circle and drawn to groups that function like extended families. You may take on a nurturing or protective role within communities, and your influence comes through emotional bonds rather than intellectual authority or social status. Friendships can be intensely close and may undergo dramatic cycles of bonding, betrayal, and renewal that force you to examine your expectations around loyalty and belonging. Your vision for the future centers on creating communities where people feel genuinely cared for and emotionally safe. The growth opportunity is learning to participate in groups without becoming the emotional caretaker of everyone in them. When you engage in community life with healthy boundaries alongside your natural warmth, your transformative influence helps build genuinely nurturing social networks.
North Node in Capricorn in House 5
℞Your North Node in Capricorn in the fifth house calls you to grow through disciplined, structured creative work and the development of a public creative legacy worthy of your sustained effort. You are here to discover that the deepest creative fulfillment comes not from spontaneous emotional expression alone but from the patient, serious work of building something that endures ... a body of creative work, a dedicated practice, or a structured relationship with joy. The fifth house focuses this growth on creativity, romance, children, and play. Commit to a creative practice with professional discipline, approach romantic relationships with appropriate seriousness and long-term thinking, and let your joy be expressed through mastery. Your creative authority grows through disciplined investment.
Chiron in Gemini in House 10
Chiron in Gemini in the tenth house places the Wounded Healer at the apex of the chart ... the Midheaven, the most publicly visible point ... bringing the wound around voice, intellect, and communication into the arena of career, public reputation, and the life you build in the world's eyes. The tenth house is the domain of Capricorn and Saturn, concerned with earned authority and the long-term construction of a public identity, and with Chiron in Gemini here your professional identity is substantially built from and wounded through your voice. Mercury rules Gemini, and at the Midheaven its energy means communication, writing, teaching, or the transmission of ideas is likely central to your professional calling ... and also to your professional vulnerability. The wound here may express as profound anxiety about public speaking, about putting your ideas on record in permanent form, about the possibility of intellectual public failure; or it may express as a compulsive professionalism around communication, endlessly polishing and qualifying your words to protect against the criticism you most fear. Gemini's mutable quality means this vulnerability shifts ... sometimes the fear is of seeming scattered, sometimes of seeming simplistic, sometimes simply of being wrong in front of people who are watching. Your gift is a hard-won, genuinely embodied understanding of what professional courage around communication requires ... you know its cost, which makes you an unusually empathic mentor for anyone facing their own version of the blank page or the empty stage. To work with this energy consciously, pursue professional opportunities that require you to communicate publicly and imperfectly ... the tenth house heals through visibility, not preparation. The growth edge is the paralysis that can develop between your genuine communicative gifts and the wound's insistence that they're not ready yet, and the growth is learning that the professional voice that will actually serve your reputation is the one that speaks before it feels ready.
Ascendant (Rising) in Virgo
With Virgo rising, you come across as thoughtful, precise, and quietly competent. People trust your judgment because you clearly pay attention to details others miss. There's a modesty to your presence that understates how capable you actually are. You process the world through analysis and service.
Descendant in Pisces
With your Descendant in Pisces, you're drawn to partners who are empathic, creative, and spiritually attuned. You seek relationships with emotional depth and a sense of transcendence... where connection goes beyond words.
Midheaven in Taurus
With your Midheaven in Taurus, your career is built on consistency, quality, and tangible results. You're drawn to work that creates lasting value... something you can see, touch, or measure. Your professional reputation grows slowly but becomes unshakable over time.
Imum Coeli in Scorpio
With your IC in Scorpio, your roots are shaped by emotional intensity and transformation. Your private life has depth that few people see. You recharge through solitude, emotional processing, and confronting what's hidden.
