What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun trine Uranus (exact at 0.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reached him as if they were his own.
The Moon conjunction Neptune (close at 1.3°)
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 2.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. Enthusiasm at full speed: he charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed him only briefly.
Mars conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.5°)
