What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)
What he needed
Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart
Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
Venus trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 2.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (wide at 4.5°)
