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.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.

    For a birth before 6:39 a.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 1.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

    Mercury trine Mars (wide at 4.2°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.

    Mars conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
