What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun sextile Saturn (wide at 6.1°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. His feelings and his imagination pulled in different directions: he lived between what was real and what he longed for.
The Moon square Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he loved
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (close at 2.1°)
How he thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars trine Neptune (close at 2.2°)
