What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Free Thinker
A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun opposition Jupiter (wide at 4.5°) · For a birth before 7:16 a.m., his Sun was in Capricorn.
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. Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°) · For a birth before 3:49 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (close at 1.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Mercury square Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm.
