Hergé and Tintin: universal and lasting appeal

|   Famous people

It takes a reporter to create one

Hergé, creator of the world-famous Tintin cartoon character, was born in Brussels on May 22, 1907. His Saturn on the Midheaven, ruler of the 7th House, indicates the decisive, long-lasting impact he has made with his creations. Sun and Mercury in 11 are telling of a highly original writer's mind, putting a Gemini-dominated, planet-filled House 12 fantasy world to work. His Mars in 6 makes him a meticulous craftsman with a keen eye for detail. With Hergé's rising sign's ruler in House 3, it's no surprise that his action hero Tintin is a reporter who travels the world. Check out Hergé's Jobhoroscope here
