What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Soft-hearted and full of imagination. Picks up on feelings nobody has said out loud. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (wide at 3.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay.
How he loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves with steadiness and staying power. Takes commitment seriously and builds something lasting. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus sextile Uranus (wide at 4.3°)

What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (wide at 4.7°)
The shape of his chart
