What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
The Sun quincunx Pluto (close at 1.1°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Venus square Jupiter (close at 1.7°)
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 1.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.
Mars quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
