What his chart says about him
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. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
The Sun sextile Pluto (close at 1.2°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
The Moon trine Venus (close at 2.3°)
How he loved
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit.
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. Serious thoughts: he said less than he knew, and what he said held up.
Mercury conjunction Saturn (close at 1.0°)
What drove him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars trine Pluto (close at 2.2°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, fire and earth signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm, and the practical and the solid.
The sky the day he was born
