What his chart says about him

  1. 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. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

    Venus square Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars trine Jupiter (close at 2.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
