What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    The Sun square Jupiter (close at 2.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around him feel the same.

  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. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

    Mercury sextile Mars (wide at 4.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (wide at 4.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth and water signs: the practical and the solid, and feeling and intuition.
