What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun quincunx Uranus (close at 1.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. 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 (close at 2.0°)
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 2.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (wide at 3.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Mars opposition Saturn (close at 1.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
