What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

    The Sun square Saturn (close at 1.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.

    For a birth after 4:10 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

    Mercury sextile Pluto (close at 1.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth and water signs: the practical and the solid, and feeling and intuition.
