What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
The Sun trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°)
What he needed
Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart
Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars.
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Mercury square Neptune (close at 2.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars trine Jupiter (close at 1.1°)
