What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (wide at 3.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender
Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.
The Moon opposition Saturn (close at 1.8°) · For a birth after 6:34 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.
How he loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. His taste and his appetite for more needed adjusting: he kept learning what was enough.
Venus quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. Thinking and doing kept getting out of step: he acted on half a thought, or thought past the moment to act.
Mercury quincunx Mars (close at 1.1°)
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. Electric: he acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.
Mars conjunction Uranus (wide at 7.2°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
