What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.

    The Moon opposition Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.

    Venus quincunx Pluto (close at 2.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (close at 2.5°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 2.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
