What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (close at 1.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.

    The Moon conjunction Mercury (close at 1.1°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

    Mercury opposition Saturn (wide at 6.0°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his mind, his heart and his drive (the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
