American gay filmmaker whose films are controversial and often criticized, often praised for the erotic themes and graphic content.

Note his tight Venus-Uranus 180 across the Horizon, clearly his prominent Natal Signature. Ebertin says about Venus-Uranus:

Principle: The arousing of love.
Biological Correspondence: The rhythm of the libido and of the sex life.
Psychological Correspondence: A strong excitability in love-expression, the variegated expressions of love ranging between sentimentality and eccentricity, artistic talents, strange urges and inclinations.

Bradley says about angular Venus-Uranus:

This combination presages unique erotic experiences, particularily of the tabooed kind.

As we can see here, Haynes certainly lived his life to the fullest with this Venus-Uranus life impulse.

Yes, you've exactly pegged it with that Venus-Uranus. (And Uranus is only 0°10' from Descendant. That's enough to knock Sagittarius into unconventionality.)

He's fiercely independent. Not only the Uranus, but Pluto < 2° from square Midheaven, and a partile Moon-Saturn opposition. It's a passion for him to "go his own way," not conform, challenge people, even {nass} them off. (Oh, and I haven't even mentioned the Mars oppositions to Mercury and Sun. Mercury-Mars is critical to his creative power. And is there substance abuse here?)

He can be a charmer when he wants to be - rising Venus, the sociability of Gemini Moon, a pretty close Sun-Jupiter conjunction - but I think he really gets pleasure from pushing people beyond their comfort zone.

That Moon-Saturn in the immediate background is not kind to his health, I bet. We would expect a Gemini-theme for his major illnesses.

That Venus-Uranus opposition is centered only 0°45' from the horizon in Prime Vertical.
