What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.

    Mars quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his feelings and his mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
