What his chart says about him
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. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
The Moon square Pluto (close at 1.3°)
How he loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.
Mercury quincunx Pluto (exact at 0.0°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mars trine Uranus (wide at 6.3°)
The shape of his chart
Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touched everything else in it.
