What his chart says about him

  1. 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. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

    The Sun opposition Pluto (close at 1.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (close at 2.8°) · For a birth after 9:30 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury opposition Mars (close at 1.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
