What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
The Sun opposition Pluto (wide at 3.9°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them.
How he loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 5.7°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters. The facts and the bigger picture needed constant reconciling, and he kept checking one against the other.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter (close at 2.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 4.6°)
The shape of his chart
Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
