What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
The Moon conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.1°) · For a birth after 7:44 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.
How he loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Venus trine Jupiter (wide at 5.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mercury sextile Neptune (close at 2.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mars sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.6°)
