What his chart says about him

  1. 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. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. Restless feelings: he felt most at home where things were new.

    The Moon conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars trine Jupiter (close at 1.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his feelings, his mind and his independence (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
