What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (wide at 6.7°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness.

    For a birth after 5:51 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.

    Venus conjunction Mars (close at 1.4°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (exact at 0.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
