What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Scorpio or Libra, the Detective

    Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (wide at 4.2°) · For a birth before 10:40 a.m., his Sun was in Libra.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.8°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (wide at 5.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and he aimed again and again.

    Mars quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his optimism, his discipline and his independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) 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.
