What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
The Sun opposition Pluto (close at 1.3°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender
Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.
For a birth before 11:26 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (close at 2.0°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right.
The sky the day he was born
