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.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (close at 1.4°) · For a birth after 9:12 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. The facts and the bigger picture needed constant reconciling, and he kept checking one against the other.

    Mercury quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.6°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
