What his chart says about him
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. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker
Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.
The Moon opposition Saturn (close at 2.6°) · For a birth before 7:25 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (wide at 4.2°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters.
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
The Sun square Mars (close at 2.2°)
