What his chart says about him
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 (close at 2.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker
Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°) · For a birth before 6:05 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.
How he loved

Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Venus opposition Neptune (close at 1.3°)
How he thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it.
