What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.

    The Sun quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.

    For a birth before noon, his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (close at 1.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (wide at 5.0°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (wide at 4.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
