What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.3°)
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 12:54 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Achiever
Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mars sextile Uranus (wide at 3.4°) · For a birth after 4:17 p.m., his Mars was in Aquarius.
The shape of his chart
No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
