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. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Libra or Virgo, the Sweetheart

    Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
