What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (close at 1.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.

    The Moon trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

    Venus square Jupiter (close at 1.3°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters. A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.

    Mercury conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (wide at 4.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his drive and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
