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. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (close at 1.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reached him as if they were his own.

    The Moon conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°) · For a birth after 10:39 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  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 the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 7.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

    Mars square Saturn (wide at 3.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touched everything else in it. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
