What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (close at 1.0°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. 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 0.8°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. His taste and his appetite for more needed adjusting: he kept learning what was enough.

    Venus quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.

    Mercury quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Venus and Mars) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
