What his chart says about him
Who he was

What he needed
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
