What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (wide at 3.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.

    The Moon opposition Venus (wide at 3.2°) · For a birth before 1:19 a.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

    Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

    Mercury trine Pluto (wide at 3.5°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 5.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
