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. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.7°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different.
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 0.3°)
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Mars opposition Pluto (wide at 6.5°)
