What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
Venus trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.
The Moon conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.9°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Capricorn, 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.
