What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
The Sun sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Moon square Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Venus quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Mercury square Saturn (close at 1.7°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (close at 2.0°)
The shape of his chart
Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
