What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Aim and action ran at different speeds, and he spent real effort keeping them in step.

    The Sun quincunx Mars (exact at 0.0°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth before 8:33 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.

    Mercury opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.

    Mars quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
