What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun square Jupiter (wide at 3.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart
Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return.
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus sextile Mars (wide at 4.3°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.
Mars quincunx Pluto (close at 1.2°)
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.
