What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. 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 (close at 2.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Mercury square Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
Mars conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)
The shape of his chart
