What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 2.4°)

  2. 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. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

    The Moon opposition Pluto (close at 1.8°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (wide at 4.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
