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. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.

    The Sun quincunx Uranus (close at 2.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon opposition Uranus (close at 1.1°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. 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°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

    Mars opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his mind and his drive (the Moon, Mercury and Mars) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
