What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.
The Sun quincunx Saturn (close at 1.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in.
For a birth after 3:11 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (close at 1.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
Mercury conjunction Neptune (wide at 5.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Electric: he acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.
Mars conjunction Uranus (wide at 5.5°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his heart, his drive, his independence and his intensity (Venus, Mars, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
