What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun opposition Uranus (wide at 7.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault
Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them.
For a birth before 4:41 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.
How he loved
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
Venus quincunx Uranus (close at 1.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mercury opposition Uranus (close at 2.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow to start and impossible to stop. He worked steadily, built things to last and did not give up under pressure. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
