* What makes a billionaire and a philanthropist? Bill Ackman has an exact 8th-House conjunction of Pluto and Uranus in Virgo trine an angular Mars-Sun conjunction in Taurus trine his Capricorn Ascendant: An acquisitive and materialistic Earth Grand Trine. Neptune in Scorpio on his MC makes this Grand Trine into an angular Kite pattern. Neptune can dissolve one's funds, so Ackman has acted wisely by becoming a signatory of The Giving Pledge: committing himself to give away at least 50% of his wealth to charitable causes.
