What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (close at 1.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.

    The Moon trine Saturn (close at 1.6°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.

    Venus trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.

    Mercury square Pluto (close at 2.7°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.

    Mars conjunction Neptune (wide at 3.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
