What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aries or Pisces, the Pioneer

    Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth before 4:50 a.m., his Sun was in Pisces.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (close at 2.1°) · For a birth before 3:34 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.6°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

    Mercury square Neptune (wide at 5.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. 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

    No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
