What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (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. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

    Venus square Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

    Mercury square Saturn (close at 1.6°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (wide at 6.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touched everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
