What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. 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 0.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
The Moon square Venus (close at 1.9°)
How he loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus sextile Neptune (close at 1.2°)
How he thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury square Pluto (wide at 3.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars trine Pluto (exact at 0.0°)
