What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Soft-hearted and full of imagination. Picks up on feelings nobody has said out loud. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 7.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.7°)
How he loved
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
Venus conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (wide at 3.2°)
What drove him
Mars in Pisces or Aries, the Gentle Warrior
Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
