What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.

    The Sun quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. A generous heart: love and good company came to him easily, and he shared both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.2°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his optimism and his discipline (Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
