What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.

    The Sun trine the Moon (close at 1.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.

    For a birth before 6:34 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.

    Venus quincunx Saturn (close at 1.6°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
