What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 8.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

    The Moon sextile Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 7:58 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (close at 2.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars trine Jupiter (close at 2.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
