What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker
Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 3:27 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
Venus conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (close at 1.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Mars square Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire and water signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and feeling and intuition.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Claude Monet was born five days after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 71% lit. Tonight’s Moon
The day
