What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen.
What he needed
Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand
Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed.
For a birth after 12:21 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (close at 1.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Mercury opposition Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.8°)
The shape of his chart
Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
