What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Pisces or Aries, the Dreamer

    Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun sextile Uranus (close at 1.6°) · For a birth after 3:47 p.m., his Sun was in Aries.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Taurus or Gemini, 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.

    For a birth after 6:29 p.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
