What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)
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. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.9°) · For a birth after 5:54 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.
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. He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Venus quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.
Mars quincunx Pluto (close at 1.9°)
