What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun quincunx Uranus (wide at 3.3°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
The Moon sextile Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 9:03 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.
How he loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 4.1°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mercury trine Pluto (close at 2.2°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (close at 2.6°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
