What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. 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 1.1°)
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.
Venus quincunx Pluto (close at 1.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (close at 3.0°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Moon square Mars (close at 2.4°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his drive, his independence and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
