What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart
Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Moon opposition Mars (close at 2.8°)
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. He loved ideas, the bigger the better, and he could talk anyone into hoping.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.
Mars quincunx Pluto (close at 2.6°)
The shape of his chart
