What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.

    The Sun quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aquarius or Pisces, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.

    Mercury conjunction Pluto (close at 1.6°) · For a birth after 9:21 p.m., his Mercury was in Pisces.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.

    Mars quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
