What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.

    The Sun trine the Moon (almost exact at 0.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head

    Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (almost exact at 0.4°) · For a birth after 2:57 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. 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. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

    Venus square Uranus (wide at 3.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 2.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
