What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. 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 (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.
The Moon conjunction Mars (close at 1.9°)
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed.
What drove him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (wide at 5.2°)
The shape of his chart
Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
