What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
The Sun quincunx Pluto (wide at 3.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart
Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return.
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus square Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)
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 0.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars trine Pluto (close at 2.5°)
The shape of his chart
Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touched everything else in it.
