What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun quincunx Uranus (close at 1.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk.
How he loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus opposition Saturn (close at 1.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (wide at 3.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and he aimed again and again.
Mars quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)
