What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (close at 1.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 9.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

    Mercury sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
