What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

    Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

    The Moon opposition Pluto (close at 2.9°) · For a birth before 5:09 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

    Venus trine Saturn (close at 1.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his imagination and his intensity (Mars, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
