What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (close at 1.2°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus trine Neptune (close at 1.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (wide at 7.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.5°)
