What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.7°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Venus sextile Jupiter (close at 1.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
Mercury conjunction Neptune (wide at 5.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars trine Jupiter (close at 2.6°)
The shape of his chart
