What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (close at 1.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. He picked up what others felt before a word was said, and his compassion reached far.

    The Moon trine Neptune (close at 1.1°) · For a birth after 6:07 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

    Venus trine Saturn (close at 2.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

    Mercury conjunction Uranus (close at 1.5°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

    Mars opposition Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his optimism and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
