What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun sextile Uranus (close at 1.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. Intense, private feelings: he kept an inner life few people saw, and he guarded it well.

    The Moon conjunction Pluto (close at 2.8°) · For a birth after 6:59 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and he aimed again and again.

    Mars quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touched everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
