What his chart says about him
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 (almost exact at 0.2°)
What he needed
Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth
Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year.
For a birth after 4:02 p.m., his Moon was in Gemini.
How he loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond.
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Mercury square Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 3.0°)
The shape of his chart
Mercury is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his mind touched everything else in it.
