What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

    The Sun trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.

    The Moon trine Pluto (close at 2.2°) · For a birth before 9:28 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.4°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 2.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
