What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 3.1°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
The Moon square Jupiter (close at 1.1°)
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Venus square Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Mercury opposition Mars (wide at 3.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting.
The shape of his chart
Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
