William Butler Yeats, Poet and Mystic: 1865
Sun: Gemini
Ascendant: Aquarius
Moon: Aquarius

William Butler Yeats is one of the most important poets of the English language, having modernised the artform over the span from the 19th to the 20th centuries. He also was heavily involved in mysticism, the occult and astrology. One can see his writing ability in his Venus/Pluto conjunction in his 3rd house giving him an incredible power to communicate in words. His Neptune in his 2nd house forms a grand trine with Mars and his Mid-Heaven showing that a concern more in the immaterial, as opposed to the material, led to his earthly success.
