What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it.

    For a birth after 4:19 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (close at 1.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury square Mars (wide at 3.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

    Mars square Jupiter (close at 2.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

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