What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (wide at 6.7°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

    The Moon square Pluto (almost exact at 0.3°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Pisces or Aries, the Tender Heart

    Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.

    Venus conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.2°) · For a birth after 9:35 p.m., his Venus was in Aries.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (close at 2.0°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (wide at 6.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
