What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (close at 1.7°)
How he loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting.
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mercury conjunction Uranus (wide at 6.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.
Mars quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his heart and his independence (the Moon, Venus and Uranus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
