What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.

    The Moon trine Jupiter (close at 1.4°) · For a birth before 9:01 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

    Venus square Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.

    Mercury conjunction Neptune (wide at 5.7°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. 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. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
