What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. Born original: his identity and his need for freedom were the same thing, and he surprised people, himself included.
The Sun conjunction Uranus (close at 2.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.
The Moon conjunction Mercury (close at 2.2°)
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
Venus opposition Pluto (close at 1.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 4.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
