What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.7°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon square Saturn (exact at 0.0°) · For a birth before 11:46 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

    Venus opposition Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.

    Venus square Mars (wide at 4.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Venus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his heart touched everything else in it.
