What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. 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 (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself. The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
The Sun square the Moon (almost exact at 0.6°) · For a birth before 2:12 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.
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. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 1.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his optimism, his discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
