[edited for harry’s 2:30pm birth time - which gives them more of the same house placements]
LOUIS
(cap sun)
he’s a very steady and reliable partner
doesn’t commit hastily, but when he makes a commitment he sticks to it
he will give completely of himself, and wants his partner to live up to his expectations
for long-term happiness, he’d do well with a partner who continually injects freshness and originality into the relationship; he would be a stabilising factor/emotional home base for them
he tends to hold in feelings he would like to communicate, so he needs a fluid and sensitive partner who can explore the depths of his personality without treading on sensitive areas before he’s ready to share
(sun in 8th)
physically sexual; tangible intimacy is very important to him
he’s intuitive and may have considerable subliminal power over others, controlling them without their knowledge
a psychic animal magnetism
may be drawn to power games; a lover who is considerably older or younger; situations where one is a good deal more experienced/teaches the other
no matter what, his key word is intensity
(leo moon)
very open and mellow towards his partner
a very enthusiastic and outgoing partner
his partner should enjoy social gatherings, because he feels unfulfilled if he goes a long time without being social
generally he’s an optimist
physically and emotionally, he could enjoy the presence and love of many different people, but he will lock his truly heartfelt loyalty and love to one person only
(moon in 4th)
his ideal relationship is one that provides an emotional defense for time of trouble or distress
he is happiest with a partner who is absolutely true to him, who is always there when needed
he’s drawn to live-in relationships because it provides the greatest opportunities for warmth and expression of his love; both he and his partner will find it most satisfying to live together 24/7
ideally his partner should cherish the wealth of care and thoughtfulness he provides
(scorpio venus)
he has a very deep, gut-level style in love
when he sets his sights on someone, he doesn’t give up until he gets what he wants
not good with moderation
he prefers sexuality to have tremendous power; sex should be an uncontrollable flood in which he and his partner are caught up in
in everyday life, he has to take care to let control return to both partners equally so that the power dynamics don’t rule their lives
(venus in 6th)
he appreciates well-crafted lovemaking
his partner should like working at improving their relationship and refining the gentle art of love
although he wants to be equal with his partner in the relationship, equality is not ideal in sex; he prefers to be served or to serve
(sag mars)
he tends to approach any sexual/romantic involvement with gusto, jumping right in
he has a talent for bringing an overly thoughtful or melancholy lover out of the dumps and into a gleeful love session by his own open and positive approach
his sexual style borders on the athletic, very energetic; possibly his favourite way to exercise
he needs a partner who fits into the spaces of his own fantasies/kinks and helps fulfil them
(mars in 7th)
he may gravitate towards rather intense, strenuous relationships where both parties emit and demand a great deal of energy
he needs to take care to define respective roles within a relationship
he’s best off with a regular partner who he spends a lot of time with
he derives a great deal of his energy, drive and inspiration from his partner
(gemini rising)
he has a talent for variety in his personal relationships, and therefore could enjoy many kinds of lovers, or a lover who was different themselves
he would find a partner who liked the same thing every time boring
he’s an inventive lover, and needs a sensitive partner who can respond to his delicate touch and lively imagination
imagination is another key word for his style
HARRY
(aqua sun)
he is a very understanding lover, with a special ability to be helpful when his partner is having emotional difficulties
he can enjoy a wide variety of sexual experiences; if he limits himself to one partner, that person would enjoy lovemaking as an affectionate but continuously changing adventure
his partner must respect his freedom
he prefers close contact with open communication
quite capable of carrying on a love affair without any sex at all
(sun in 8th) (same as louis)
physically sexual; tangible intimacy is very important to him
he’s intuitive and may have considerable subliminal power over others, controlling them without their knowledge
a psychic animal magnetism
may be drawn to power games; a lover who is considerably older or younger; situations where one is a good deal more experienced/teaches the other
no matter what, his key word is intensity
(libra moon)
he is a problem-solver; he may continuously try to improve his relationship
he creates beauty and balance in both his physical environment and socially
he needs a partner as willing as he is to confront truth and deal with it directly and clearly
(moon in 4th) (same as louis)
his ideal relationship is one that provides an emotional defense for time of trouble or distress
he is happiest with a partner who is absolutely true to him, who is always there when needed
he’s drawn to live-in relationships because it provides the greatest opportunities for warmth and expression of his love; both he and his partner will find it most satisfying to live together 24/7
ideally his partner should cherish the wealth of care and thoughtfulness he provides
(aqua venus)
he seeks special styles and unusual varieties of love, and partners who have similar interests to his
he needs a lot of action in order to be mentally stimulated in a relationship, so his relationships can become complicated/multi-faceted
interested in unusual relationships; may be tempted to get involved in several relationships at once, which can be stimulating but likely unfulfilling for him (due to: libra moon, cancer rising, scorpio juno, all his 8h/7h placements which require more depth and make him possessive)
(venus in 8th) (counterpart to louis’s scorpio venus)
strives for relationships that are very intense and therefore quite involved
may be drawn toward people who seem mysterious or challenging in some way
requires plenty of physical attention within a relationship; is happiest with a demonstrative lover who pays attention to his physical as well as his emotional needs
the more he can lose himself in a relationship, particularly in its sexual aspects, the more satisfying it will be. he has to try not to let his life outside of the relationship become unbalanced by it.
(aqua mars)
his style of expression is multi-faceted; he is wide-ranging, combining variety with truly satisfying intimacy
he goes out of his way to discover and fulfil all his partner’s fantasies
he must feel free to express his personality, and may not handle a jealous partner (again, his aqua placements being in 8h affects this)
(mars in 8th)
he likes to maintain a certain air of mystery concerning his style and motivations in sexuality, which can add both power and attraction to his image as others see it
in order to stay in control of his sometimes complex and subterranean inner forces, he must make a particular effort to explore them and reach an effective level of self-understanding.
sexual activity has a very invigorating effect on his constitution
he is rather good at unraveling the tangled skeins of others' personal lives. in a relationship, he can pursue seemingly well-hidden motives that reveal his lover's special needs and then satisfy them.
(cancer rising)
probably the most important aspects of a relationship for him are integrity and security. he will persevere through many trials in order to make a relationship work out, as long as he feels that his partner is equally committed.
if there is any problem with this position, it is oversensitivity, a tendency to take remarks made in jest too seriously.
this position makes him a very faithful lover, and an incident of unfaithfulness will be very traumatic for him
he has to try to avoid being overly possessive in the physical sense and remember that faithfulness belongs more to the heart than to the body.
ALSO, i think it’s important to keep their juno/venus connection in mind when discussing compatibility. their venuses are basically interchangeable when it comes to each other 🤷♀️
this is the most important 1d astrology post i’ll ever make. this has convinced me that harry and louis are soulmates. i mean, i knew, but now i Know.
harry’s venus is aquarius, and louis’s juno is aquarius.
louis’s venus is scorpio, and harry’s juno is scorpio.
what they want in an ideal partner is literally each other.
here’s an overview of what that means:
your venus is how you love, how you feel, how you act in relationships, how you share your emotions and values with others.
your juno is what you look for in an ideal partner, who your soulmate is, and what they bring out in you. this is the area of marriage and commitment.
harry’s aqua venus
he tries to impress with his open-minded, future-thinking spirit
he wants his partner to see him as unique, rebellious, and a little provocative
he is attractive when he is acting a little aloof
he wants his partner to acknowledge and appreciate that he doesn’t follow the beaten track in matters of the heart
he is attracted to unusual or unconventional relationships
he doesn’t want to follow all the rules, although he may make quite a few of his own
he can appear quite standoffish at times, and is threatened by restrictions of any kind
emotional types may be put off by his detached manner in love
he wants you to love him for his intellect, and to admire his visions
he values lovers who are also good friends, and he avoids emotional displays or confrontations like the plague
he will delight in shocking you with his unusual ways and his forward-looking thinking
pleasing him involves letting him know just how interesting he is
his partner must put up with his occasional need to act superior on an intellectual level - he is very proud of his unique ideas and visions - and dream along with him, and don’t fence him in
he needs space and will happily return the favour, giving his partner lots of room to breathe and to be themselves
louis’s aqua juno
he wants a relationship that gives him his freedom
he is rather unconventional; may prefer open marriages, friends with benefits or other alternatives
isn’t necessarily looking for equality in a relationship
may either play the adoring mate or want his partner to be subservient to him
he appreciates eccentricity in his partner
he is progressive and friendly, spontaneous and impulsive
he may be rather insecure
he wants someone who understands him and his needs and goals
louis’s scorpio venus
he attracts others with his intensity and willingness to commit
he has a strong and concentrated manner which suggests his feelings run deep
his actions in love promise deep commitment and sexual pleasure, even if he doesn’t say so directly
his appeal lies in his focus on his partner and his dedication
he seems fearless when it comes to intimacy
potential lovers get the feeling that he would never stray, that he is intensely loyal to the one he loves
he possesses the one he loves and somehow makes it seem attractive to be possessed
he gives his partner his complete attention; he is very focused on them
he has a strong need to control his partner, which wont be be immediately apparent, and he may not ever admit to it
he loves and commits mind, body and soul - which can be so intense that it eclipses fun and makes loving him a heavy experience
he’s emotional and intense, takes things to extremes, and can be very provocative
although he wants to explore all of his partner’s nooks and crannies, he won’t always be forthcoming with his own
when his partner has upset him, they’ll know it. depending on the moment, he will shoot them a piercing glare or totally blow up
if he’s slighted, it’s not a pretty sight
he can be jealous of all his partner’s attachments and may not admit it
he’s not afraid of being underhanded in matters of the heart, and is an expert at cutting through the bullshit and seeing partners for who they are, even if they find the conclusions skewed
pleasing him involves demonstrating complete commitment and loyalty to him
he’s proud of his courage in love and intimacy and wants to be appreciated for it
he wants partners to relinquish control, let him feel like he owns them
he could potentially take advantage of his lovers with subtlety, if only to keep them all to himself
he may be secretive
harry’s scorpio juno
he needs an intense relationship with a lot of deep intimacy and sex
he may become manipulative and jealous, using sex as a way to control his partner
he wants passion, loyalty and strength
he may be possessive, and must learn to trust over time
he likes mystery and power
he may be demanding or high maintenance
once he is won over, he is loyal and dedicated, but he may always remain a bit suspicious
i mean... isn’t that just ridiculous? they have many other positive aspects/compatibilities (harry’s venus is in 8th which gives them even more scorpio energy) but i feel like this is a foundational thing that makes them strong, the reason they can overcome challenges.

two styles of presentation: bubbly, changeable, talkative, a little quirky, interesting and fun, constantly explains things whether it’s his own behaviour/opinion or those of the world around him.

this is really just the first of many; i wanted to give an overview of what astrocafe says of each of their charts before i went in depth with other interpretations
edit: i believe this was done with the wrong birth time. at some point in the future i’ll redo it, but for now: pls ignore all houses and the rising/midheaven :(
AQUARIUS SUN
unwillingness to follow the beaten track
with advancement and progress his priority, there can be an irreverence to old and outdated ways of thinking and doing things
he aims to free himself of personal and social conditioning
although open to change in theory, he can be surprisingly stubborn
his idealism runs strong, but he can be very fixed in his opinions.
often a bit aloof and even standoffish, he nonetheless is usually well-liked
he is curious and observant, and tolerant in a broad sense. Prejudice and bias is offensive to him.
he is very clever, witty, and intellectual
he values progress and frankness
it's difficult to throw him for a loop - he's generally on top of things
he is a bit of a reformer; he’ll try to get you to see through superficiality, and encourage you to be open and forthright
"Be true to yourself" and "Don't follow the crowd" are mottos easily associated with him
he needs space and values personal freedom and he’ll happily return the favour; any attempt to box him in will likely fail
he will treat people from all walks of life as equals. Equality and fairness are his hallmarks, if you're quirky and "different", all the better.
he is independent, autonomous, and has progressive ideas.
he has an unusual, rebellious and revolutionary spirit.
aqua sun in 4th (family; ruled by cancer/the moon)
he invests much of his pride and energy into his personal and private life, his home, and his family
privacy is important to him
he is naturally protective of his family, including his heritage, and of his personal life
he has to try to avoid being defensive as he works to build a secure foundation for himself and the people he loves
LIBRA MOON
he has a strong need for partnership; without someone to share his life with, he feels utterly incomplete (many people with this position get involved in marriages or living-together arrangements quite young)
because this drive for harmony, peace, and sharing is so powerful, he is apt to do a lot of conceding
he is sympathetic and concerned for others, enjoys socializing, and revels in a good debate
mental rapport with others is especially important to him
he feels safe and secure when he’s in a partnership
he seems to always need to have someone tag along with him wherever he goes - even if it is to the corner shop
he finds strength and reinforcement in and through others
he is quite charming and very attractive to be around, and is often given to flirtatiousness
rarely directly aggressive, he wins your heart with his gentle and refined ways
he simply can't help but see flaws in his environment and his relationships, and anything out of whack will bother him until it's fixed
although diplomatic with acquaintances, when he argues with his long-standing partners, he rarely lets up until he wins
winning an argument is his specialty - in fact, he may not even believe what he is saying, but will adopt all kinds of ideas just to get the last word
living with him can sometimes feel like you are on trial, and he is the expert lawyer - sometimes, though, he is defending you and supporting your point of view.
his idealistic outlook and constant striving for the best, most harmonious lifestyle can lead to much discontent. Looking for that one (elusive) perfect way to lead his life can detract from enjoyment of the moment.
he is sociable and popular
he has good judgement, he is intelligent and reasonable
he likes social pleasures.
his weaknesses are: instability in loving relationships, unfaithfulness, gives too much weight to the views of others and to public opinion.
libra moon in 12 (inner life; ruled by pisces/neptune)
curious and inquisitive nature, although more of an observer than a person who asks many questions
he likes peace and quiet, being alone
he has an emotional attachment and sensitivity to all that is ethereal, groundless, and eternal
as sensitive as he is, he often has delayed reactions to his own emotional experiences
he needs frequent moments of solitude in order to recharge himself emotionally, and this need, while strong, can also lead to feelings of isolation and of being misunderstood
while he is a perceptive person, he is often either flooded with emotions that are hard to define, or completely out of touch with what he is feeling. either extreme keeps him from truly discovering his emotional needs.
he can be prone to avoidance of responsibility, using hypersensitivity as an excuse to himself (and perhaps to others) for not participating, or emotional immaturity
he is sympathetic to others' suffering, but not always emotionally available to help
AQUARIUS MERCURY
not necessarily loud or flamboyant, but he often has a quiet way of stirring others up
delights in exposing what he deems biases in others' way of thinking

humorous and interesting
loves practical jokes and raising eyebrows

he is an extremely imaginative person who dreams up all sorts of unusual ideas and plans
his thinking is quite subjective, and in some cases narrow or biased
he might enjoy working at home or keeping a lively, intellectual atmosphere in his home
he tends to retain a lot of information, and is usually quite interested in history, psychology, or politics

he wants his partner to see him as unique, rebellious, and a little provocative
he is attractive when he is acting a little aloof
he wants his partner to acknowledge and appreciate that he doesn't follow the beaten track in matters of the heart

he doesn't want to follow all the rules, although he may make quite a few of his own
he can appear quite standoffish at times, and is threatened by restrictions of any kind
emotional types may be put off by his detached manner in love
he wants you to love him for his intellect, and to admire his visions
he values lovers who are also good friends, and he avoids emotional displays or confrontations like the plague
he will delight in shocking you with his unusual ways and his forward-looking thinking
pleasing him involves letting him know just how interesting he is
his partner must put up with his occasional need to act superior on an intellectual level - he is very proud of his unique ideas and visions - and dream along with him, and don't fence him in
he needs space and will happily return the favour, giving his partner lots of room to breathe and to be themselves
aqua venus in 4th (family; ruled by cancer/the moon)
he is lucky enough to have many happy occasions all through life
has strong friendships that he is attached to
he'll likely have a good marriage, happy family life, good work situation

there is a loving, personal touch to the way he decorates his home
his love is decidedly sentimental, and he shows his affection through nurturing and displays of sympathy
he doesn't give his heart out easily, but when he does, he does it with great emotion
it's very easy for him to become attached to a partner, and possibly smothering or overly dependent if he is not careful
his parents' marriage affected his own partnering skills and style more than most. one of his parents may be especially charming, beautiful, or otherwise Venusian, but on the negative side, this parent may have been especially indulgent or overprotective with him
AQUARIUS MARS
it can be a little difficult to understand exactly what makes him tick, which is absolutely fine with him - he enjoys surprising people
the tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for him
he has a rather original view of the world as well
he is quite proud of his independence
he is not easily pushed around
because he is progressive and open-minded when it comes to the world at large, it can be surprising that on a personal level, he can be quite obstinate. if he feels boxed in, he’s quite likely to rebel.
if you've discovered a pattern to his ways, he'll make sure he isn’t so predictable the next time around
he doesn’t want to be seen as ‘normal’
with mars in an air sign, he gets off on mental and intellectual pursuits
he's somewhat scattered but persevering in the long haul
if there's a method to his madness, it isn't always easy to see
projects are taken on with a shotgun-style approach
he is quite clever at getting what he wants; he is particularly adept at getting his way
not overtly aggressive; far too detached to come across too forcefully - but he is very wilful
combine this wilfulness with his cleverness, and he’s quite creative about getting what he wants
one of his most pleasant characteristics is his willingness to let others be. He places a lot of value in freedom and individuality--his and yours. He needs space to be himself and plenty of room to breathe.
in personal relationships, his approach to intimacy is definitely on the detached side, which can be baffling and frustrating to more personal and affectionate personalities
of all the personal planets in the sign of Aquarius, Mars placed here can show the strongest "reformer" streak. The Aquarian ideal of equality works big time with this position, and the desire to push their agenda on others (usually in creative, rather than aggressive, ways) runs high
obstinacy and a superiority complex are his least desirable traits; openness to new ways of doing things (as long as they're not forced upon him) is where he shines

he loves a good debate
whether he knows it or not, or no matter his intentions, he can be provocative in his communication style

at his best, he is enthusiastic, animated, and lively in the way he expresses himself, and this can inspire others

science and research may be prosperous avenues.

even if he weren’t good looking, he’d be attractive

he makes an excellent mediator and will generally be the first to accommodate you
he is attracted to competent, active partners
his relationships are often characterized by bickering or competitiveness until he learns to drop his sweet image once in a while and to stop blaming his partner for everything that goes wrong
LEO MIDHEAVEN
he has the tenacity and longevity to attain his lofty goals
he knows that persistence pays off
he understands that whatever trials he goes through in his journey will make him stronger

he may be possessive, and must learn to trust over time
he likes mystery and power
he may be demanding or high maintenance
once he is won over, he is loyal and dedicated, but he may always remain a bit suspicious
first, the personal placements (the positions/signs the fastest moving planets were in when you were born):
your sun sign is the one everyone already knows. your overall, core self. it represents vitality, a sense of individuality, outward-shining creative energy. it’s your ego, your identity, probably the traits you value most.
your moon represents your emotional responses, unconscious pre-destination, and your self-image. this is your inner self, who you are deep down, and probably what you were most like as a child.
mercury represents communication and the mind. how you talk, how you think, how you express yourself.
your venus is how you love, how you feel, how you act in relationships, how you share your emotions and values with others.
mars represents your desire for action and physical energy. what drives you? and also indicates how you have sex and how you show aggression.
your rising/ascendent is how you come across to people, what you project socially.
next, there are the generational planets (these move slower and therefore encompass more people/are more broad, they’re more important in aspects/how they interact with other placements):
jupiter represents expansion and grace. luck, spirituality, philosophical side, what you indulge in.
saturn represents contraction and effort. your responsibilities, limitations, restrictions, insecurities.
uranus is your individuality and your changes in life, can be surprising
neptune is how you dream, your imagination, psychic experiences and artistic ability.
pluto represents transformations, your habits, your beliefs.
as these are generational, all the boys have the same capricorn uranus, capricorn neptune, and scorpio pluto - the traits of each would only differ depending on the houses these planets are in.
which brings me to houses. houses are numbered 1-12 and each relates to an area of life. they give more specific insight, show you which areas are most affected by each placement. so each planet is ruled by a sign which is influenced by a house, which dictates the area of your life that planet’s energy shows the most. each house is also ruled by a sign/planet, which shows you what kind of energy it has and in which areas it applies. houses are just a way to understand placements more specifically, like layers.
example:
harry’s sun is in aquarius. this is his identity; it makes him intellectual, quirky, independent, progressive, curious, aloof. his sun is in 4th house, which affects the home, and is ruled by cancer/the moon. this makes him private, makes him proud of his home and family, naturally protective of it. his personal relationships/family/home are the secure foundation of his identity, and he feels the most himself at home.
also, there’s something called a stellium, which is when someone has more than three planets (with at least two being personal placements) in the same house. the more placements in a house, the more that house affects a person.
next, there are asteroids and other placements. there are so many asteroids that some say they mean nothing, others say asteroids are more relevant if they conjunct the sun, moon, chart ruler, rising or midheaven. these are the ones i’ve looked at so far:
your juno is what you look for in an ideal partner, who your soulmate is, and what they bring out in you. this is the area of marriage and commitment.
your chiron is your deepest wound and how you heal it.
ceres controls how and where we need to be nurtured.
lilith generally represents the darkest side of you; there are four lilith positions so it can get complicated.
eros is love, romance, passion. it shows how your romantic and passionate energy comes into play, and is used in synastry (with psyche and juno) to get a better understanding of power dynamics.
your midheaven relates to your career/life path, your public reputation.
north node/south node of the moon are your life’s purpose. they’re on opposite sides of your chart, and represent your past life and karmic future. your south node shows what you’ve retained from a past life, and your north node shows what you need to learn/harness to be your best self.
lastly, aspects, which are the degrees of separation between planets. this is how your placements interact with each other in the zodiac chart, and gives further insight. they can be contradictory; they may cancel each other out, or simply apply at different times.
aspects range in orb size, from 0 to 10 degrees usually but they can be any size. the smaller the orb, the more significant/relevant the aspect is.
note:
i tend to think of different parts of your natal chart as being more or less relevant at certain parts of your life, and definitely dependent on life circumstances. therefore, if in one of the boys’ charts there is something that makes no sense to you, keep in mind that this could be dependent on many other factors, or could be more relevant to another period of his life (eg adolescence; i myself relate more to different parts of my own chart as an adult than i would have as a teenager). another example is with harry and louis - both of their charts, especially harry’s, point to some unhappiness (particularly unfaithfulness) in love unless they find their soulmate early. personally, i believe that they did, so you can see then that a lot of the negative aspects of their charts don’t really apply, or can instead be applied to their situation.
being in a famous boyband, as well as being closeted imo, gives many of their aspects a certain other dimension or interpretation. i also see how a lot of this can show us where their traits could have taken them in another reality - which is why i think astrology is helpful for characterisation, maybe especially in AUs.
a blog discussing the natal charts of one direction! but more specifically, harry’s and louis’s.
why ?
because i’m learning about astrology and i needed a place to put my thoughts and things i learn. and because i thought sharing those things with the fandom could actually be helpful. i think there are huge misunderstandings across the fandom of who these boys are, and for me, astrology is kind of a way of saying that more definitively.
astrology helps me understand other people, and it’s helped me understand the boys better and/or cemented things i already thought. so i thought i should share.
disclaimer
this is not to say that my interpretations or explanations are correct - i’m open to making mistakes or being literally wrong because as i said, i’m learning. please be gentle if you feel the need to correct me, i’m just an insecure cancer moon haha
also - a lot of this is pulled straight from astrocafe or astrotheme or other sites and blogs, sometimes straight up copied and pasted. partly because i want to compile what i learn, and partly because while i intuitively understand a lot of this, it’s hard for me to explain it. i’d rather use someone else’s explanation than explain it wrong. so, i don’t take credit for anything here unless explicitly stated.
