What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.

    The Moon trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth before 7:22 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few.

  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. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
