Mr Billionaire

Warren Buffett (born August 30, 1930) is an American investor, businessman and philanthropist. He is one of the world’s most successful investors, and the largest shareholder and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. He was ranked by Forbes as the second richest American with an estimated net worth of $50 billion as of September 17, 2008.

Often called the “Oracle of Omaha“, Buffett is noted for his adherence to the value investing philosophy and for his personal frugality despite his immense wealth. His 2006 annual salary was about $100,000, which is small compared to senior executive remuneration in other comparable companies. When he spent $9.7 million of Berkshire’s funds on a business jet in 1989, he jokingly named it “The Indefensible” because of his past criticisms of such purchases by other CEOs. He lives in the same house in the central Dundee neighborhood of Omaha that he bought in 1958 for $31,500, today valued at around $700,000.
Buffett is also a notable philanthropist. In 2006, he announced a plan to give away his fortune to charity, with 83% of it going to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In 2007, he was listed among times 100 most Influential People in The World. He also serves as a member of the board of trustees at Grinnell College.

Named richest man 2008! The Investor

You got your eye on the Jupiter/Pluto in Cancer! Pluto is the focal point of a Cardinal t.square involving Venus in Libra and Uranus in Aries. I have read Cancer is the sign which has good business acumen. Some people underestimate the crab. In astrology Cancer can be intuitive and have the canny ability to predict future trends. We speak of Cancer as the great investor in astrology, this sign saves, collects and holds on tightly. The mother image in Cancer reflects the nurturer, and here she is the mom of great wealth (Jupiter-Pluto). Mr Billionaire is a man who protects his investments and is concerned about his future investments too.

All the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) are about taking initiative. Aries is about energy, enterprise and new beginnings. The sign of Cancer is protective and withholds until it feels secure enough to make the move at the right time. Libra is very charming and aims to please and is rather skilled at negotiating. Finally we have Capricorn, he is the business head in this branch of signs and he builds, constructs and manages the building, and is often the controlling type. Sun in Virgo trines Saturn in Capricorn, so this Saturnian energy helps him with his excellent sense of timing. Virgo does the checks and has the analytical abilities needed for business skills. We are looking at a man who is naturally good at business. We can also see that there are more hard aspects (red lines) than easy ones (green lines) in the natal chart. Most astrologers agree that hard aspects do have more drive than trines. In business a Cardinal T-square or fixed T-square work well for the native. Jupiter-Pluto handles large amounts of money. The sign of Cancer is something to invest in (think in terms of building a nest) but a nice big golden nest for Warren Buffet!
