What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun opposition Neptune (close at 1.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. Intense, private feelings: he kept an inner life few people saw, and he guarded it well.

    The Moon conjunction Pluto (close at 2.2°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Loves with steadiness and staying power. Takes commitment seriously and builds something lasting. Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.

    Venus quincunx Pluto (close at 1.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

    Mercury conjunction Uranus (wide at 3.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Controlled force: he worked with patience and grit, and he finished what he started.

    Mars conjunction Saturn (wide at 6.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
