What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Free Thinker
A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.8°) · For a birth before 8:45 a.m., his Sun was in Capricorn.
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 Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Venus square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)
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. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Mercury opposition Mars (wide at 4.1°)

Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Controlled force: he worked with patience and grit, and he finished what he started.
