What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 3.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along.

    For a birth before 10:56 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

    Venus square Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first.
