What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. 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 (close at 1.7°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (wide at 5.4°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. Thinking and doing kept getting out of step: he acted on half a thought, or thought past the moment to act.

    Mercury quincunx Mars (close at 1.5°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (close at 1.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Aries, 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.
