What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.

    The Sun sextile the Moon (almost exact at 0.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.

    The Moon trine Saturn (exact at 0.0°) · For a birth before 6:51 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
