What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (close at 1.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

    The Moon sextile Mercury (exact at 0.0°) · For a birth before 3:23 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (close at 2.2°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury trine Uranus (close at 2.8°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

    Mars square Saturn (wide at 4.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
