What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. Born original: his identity and his need for freedom were the same thing, and he surprised people, himself included.
The Sun conjunction Uranus (exact at 0.0°)
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. Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reached him as if they were his own.
The Moon conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth before 11:44 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things.
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio or Libra, the Investigator
Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. Meaning came to him before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.
Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth before 3:00 a.m., his Mercury was in Libra.
What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (wide at 4.6°)
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. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
