What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (wide at 3.6°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair.

    For a birth before 9:17 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

    Mars trine Pluto (close at 2.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
