What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
The Sun quincunx Pluto (wide at 3.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
The Moon opposition Pluto (close at 3.0°) · For a birth before 8:46 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.
Venus trine Pluto (wide at 5.2°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
Mercury opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
Mars sextile Saturn (close at 2.7°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his optimism, his discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
