What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (wide at 5.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 5:29 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.

    Venus sextile Pluto (wide at 3.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touched everything else in it.
