What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. 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 opposition Neptune (wide at 5.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them.
How he loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Venus sextile Jupiter (close at 1.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (exact at 0.0°) · For a birth after 9:21 p.m., his Mercury was in Capricorn.
What drove him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Mars opposition Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)
