What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
The Moon sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.4°)
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. 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 Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 3.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
Mars trine Saturn (close at 1.8°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
