What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness.

    For a birth after 3:15 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo or Libra, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results.

    For a birth before 5:53 a.m., his Mercury was in Libra.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 2.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
