What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.

    The Sun trine the Moon (close at 1.7°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (wide at 3.1°) · For a birth before 4:05 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. What he wanted from love and what love gave him kept needing adjustment, and he learned to see people as they were.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

    Mercury trine Mars (wide at 3.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
