What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (wide at 3.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. He picked up what others felt before a word was said, and his compassion reached far.

    The Moon trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth after 3:17 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

    Venus trine Saturn (wide at 4.9°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury square Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 2.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touched everything else in it. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
