What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (close at 1.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (close at 1.5°)
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Venus square Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (wide at 3.2°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars opposition Jupiter (wide at 4.8°)
The shape of his chart
