What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (close at 1.6°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra or Scorpio, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.

    The Moon opposition Jupiter (close at 1.8°) · For a birth after 3:09 p.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.
