What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 3.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand
Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
The Moon opposition Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth after 2:13 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus opposition Saturn (close at 2.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (wide at 4.4°)
What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars trine Jupiter (close at 2.7°)
