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. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    The Sun square Jupiter (close at 1.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

    The Moon conjunction Saturn (close at 1.4°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

    Venus trine Neptune (close at 1.9°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.

    Mercury trine Neptune (wide at 3.8°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

    Mars opposition Uranus (wide at 3.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his optimism and his discipline (the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
