What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 2.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own. Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

    The Moon conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.8°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

    Venus opposition Pluto (wide at 3.3°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

    Mercury sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.9°)

  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 sextile Uranus (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his drive and his discipline (the Moon, Mars and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
