What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (wide at 3.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. His feelings and his imagination pulled in different directions: he lived between what was real and what he longed for.

    The Moon square Neptune (close at 1.4°) · For a birth before 6:05 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

    Venus opposition Saturn (close at 1.2°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.

    Venus conjunction Mars (wide at 7.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his drive and his optimism (Venus, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
