What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (almost exact at 0.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own.

    For a birth before 11:03 a.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.2°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
