What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.

    The Sun quincunx Saturn (close at 2.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene.

    For a birth before 9:13 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
