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. Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit
Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
The Moon opposition Jupiter (close at 1.7°) · For a birth after 1:51 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 4.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. Meaning came to him before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.
Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.
Mars quincunx Saturn (close at 1.5°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
