What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (close at 1.9°)
What he needed
Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand
Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed.
For a birth after 12:51 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.
How he loved
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus trine Neptune (close at 1.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Mercury trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts.
