What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth
Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year.
For a birth after 1:50 p.m., his Moon was in Gemini.
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (wide at 5.7°)
How he thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury square Pluto (close at 1.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars square Jupiter (close at 1.8°)
