What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 5.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.

    The Moon conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.5°) · For a birth after 2:17 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

    Venus sextile Saturn (close at 2.2°)

  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. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 2.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (close at 2.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
