What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Soft-hearted and full of imagination. Picks up on feelings nobody has said out loud. He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.
The Sun quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.
The Moon sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)
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. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus trine Neptune (close at 2.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (wide at 3.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and he aimed again and again.
Mars quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.2°)
The sky the day he was born
