Ascendant and the 1st house
Looking at Bill Gates’s Natal Chart, firstly we can see his ascendant in Cancer shows he is receptive to the needs of others and has a natural desire to care for or protect others. Family and domestic matters are important to him, along with this home and family. Negatively, at times, he may be susceptible to changeable moods, irritability and/or petulance.
With Uranus in his first house, the natal chart tells us Bill Gates is an original personality who has the ability to make an immediate impression upon others. He is independent and delights in being different. He most likely needs a lot of change and variety to remain stimulated. Having Uranus in Leo makes Bill Gates enterprising and inclined to take risks without regard for the consequences at times. His primary motivation is through focusing on this career and direction in life. Achieving results and gaining a measure of recognition in the world is important to him.
The following is the Sabian Symbol for Uranus in the 3rd degree of Leo in his Natal Chart tells us:
