What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Pisces or Aries, the Dreamer

    Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (wide at 6.0°) · For a birth after 1:18 p.m., his Sun was in Aries.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

    Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along.

  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 at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won his heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. Serious thoughts: he said less than he knew, and what he said held up.

    Mercury conjunction Saturn (close at 1.1°)

  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. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (close at 2.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touched everything else in it. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
