What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. Aim and action ran at different speeds, and he spent real effort keeping them in step.

    The Sun quincunx Mars (close at 2.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.

    The Moon opposition Venus (close at 1.3°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (wide at 3.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (close at 1.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his optimism and his discipline (Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth and air signs: the practical and the solid, and ideas and people.
