What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 7.7°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus opposition Saturn (wide at 6.2°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things.
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Mars square Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
