What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (wide at 3.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.

    The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth before 10:54 a.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

    Venus square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (wide at 3.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
