What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.6°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.

    The Moon square Mars (close at 1.5°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

    Venus trine Neptune (close at 1.4°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 3.8°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.

    Mars quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
