What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun quincunx Uranus (wide at 4.0°)
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.
How he loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 4.3°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mercury trine Pluto (close at 1.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (wide at 3.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
