What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

    The Sun opposition Mars (close at 2.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around him feel the same.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

    Venus opposition Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.

    Mercury square Pluto (wide at 4.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (wide at 4.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his discipline and his independence (the Moon, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
