What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth before 3:32 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touched everything else in it. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
