What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (close at 2.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.

    The Moon opposition Mercury (close at 1.9°) · For a birth after 5:49 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first.
