What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 4.2°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
The Moon square Venus (close at 1.0°)
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus sextile Uranus (close at 1.7°)
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury opposition Pluto (close at 2.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily.
