What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. 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 0.7°)
What he needed
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Restless feelings: he felt most at home where things were new.
The Moon conjunction Uranus (close at 1.6°)
How he loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 2.7°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Mercury trine Uranus (close at 2.4°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 1.9°)
