What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter (close at 2.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along. Tenderness through and through: he needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.
The Moon conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.3°)
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.
Venus square Mars (wide at 3.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury square Pluto (close at 1.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars sextile Neptune (close at 1.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
