What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 2.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Taurus, the Hearth
Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year.
How he loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface.
How he thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
Mars sextile Saturn (close at 1.5°)
The shape of his chart
