What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun opposition Neptune (wide at 7.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
The Moon sextile Mercury (almost exact at 0.7°)
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. Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.
Venus quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)
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. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Mercury square Saturn (close at 2.0°)
What drove him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (wide at 3.8°)
