What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
The Sun quincunx Pluto (close at 1.1°)
What he needed
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.5°)
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Venus trine Jupiter (wide at 4.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Saturn (close at 2.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
