What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun sextile Uranus (wide at 3.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

    Venus square Uranus (wide at 3.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (close at 1.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
