What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
The Sun opposition Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker
Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.
For a birth after 3:35 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.
How he loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it.
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)
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.
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his discipline (Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
