What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Explorer

    Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. 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 3.0°) · For a birth before 7:59 a.m., his Sun was in Scorpio.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

    Mercury opposition Neptune (close at 2.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

    Mars trine Pluto (wide at 4.7°)

  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. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
