What his chart says about him

  1. 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. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (close at 2.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

    The Moon sextile Venus (close at 1.1°)

  3. 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. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

    Venus trine Saturn (wide at 5.2°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.

    Mercury quincunx Saturn (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
