What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra or Scorpio, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.

    The Sun quincunx Uranus (wide at 4.2°) · For a birth after 8:16 p.m., his Sun was in Scorpio.

  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. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.

    The Moon opposition Mars (almost exact at 0.4°) · For a birth after 10:52 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.

    Venus conjunction Mars (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 trine Saturn (exact at 0.0°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touched everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
