What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (close at 2.3°)
What he needed
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure.
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 trine Neptune (wide at 4.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.
Mercury quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Mars square Uranus (exact at 0.0°)
The shape of his chart
Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
