What his chart says about him

  1. 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. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.

    The Sun quincunx Uranus (wide at 3.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon square Uranus (close at 1.2°) · For a birth before 6:18 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

    Venus trine Saturn (wide at 5.5°)

  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. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 4.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Controlled force: he worked with patience and grit, and he finished what he started.

    Mars conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in fire and earth signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and the practical and the solid.
