What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (close at 1.7°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 5:47 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.

    Mars quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
