What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

    The Sun opposition Uranus (close at 1.6°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

    The Moon square Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

    Venus sextile Neptune (close at 1.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 1.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars sextile Neptune (close at 1.4°)
