What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. 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 (wide at 6.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move.

    For a birth after 8:55 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

    Mercury trine Pluto (close at 1.2°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (exact at 0.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
