What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.

    The Sun conjunction Jupiter (exact at 0.0°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon square Saturn (close at 2.7°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 3.7°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (close at 2.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his drive and his optimism (the Sun, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first.
