What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 4.5°)
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.
How he loved
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
Venus conjunction Saturn (close at 1.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars square Jupiter (wide at 4.1°)
The shape of his chart
Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touched everything else in it.
