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. Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.
The Sun conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (close at 1.3°)
How he loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves with steadiness and staying power. Takes commitment seriously and builds something lasting.
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters.

Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars sextile Neptune (wide at 3.2°)
