What his chart says about him
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. His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.
The Sun trine the Moon (close at 2.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury sextile Mars (wide at 3.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 2.8°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aquarius, 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.
