What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
The Sun square Mars (close at 2.2°)
What he needed
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them.
How he loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury trine Jupiter (close at 1.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (wide at 6.0°)
The shape of his chart
