What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
The Moon square Venus (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth after 6:14 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches.
How he thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury square Pluto (close at 1.4°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
