What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (wide at 6.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

    The Moon conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°) · For a birth before 8:00 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. Romance without limits: he fell for ideals as much as people, and his taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.

    Venus conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.7°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (close at 1.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.

    Venus opposition Mars (wide at 3.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
