What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (close at 2.5°) · For a birth before 5:02 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.
Venus square Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Mercury sextile Uranus (wide at 3.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
Mars conjunction Neptune (wide at 6.0°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his drive, his imagination and his intensity (Mars, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
