What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
The Sun square Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Cool Head
Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them. The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
The Sun square the Moon (close at 1.6°) · For a birth before 12:58 a.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus square Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mercury trine Pluto (close at 1.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Electric: he acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.
Mars conjunction Uranus (close at 2.8°)
The shape of his chart
Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
