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. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
The Sun square Saturn (close at 1.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
The Moon trine Saturn (close at 1.2°)
How he loved
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return.
How he thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Mercury square Saturn (close at 2.0°)
What drove him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.
Mars conjunction Pluto (close at 2.7°)
