What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter (wide at 5.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand
Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
The Moon trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth after 12:11 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.
How he loved
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus square Uranus (wide at 3.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Mercury trine Uranus (close at 1.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Mars opposition Saturn (close at 1.8°)
