What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (wide at 4.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own.

    For a birth before 10:41 a.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (close at 2.0°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (wide at 4.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (wide at 3.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
