What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.5°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.

    Venus sextile Pluto (wide at 3.4°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 6.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

    Mars opposition Uranus (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his imagination (Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
