What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun square Uranus (close at 1.3°)
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. His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
The Moon trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves with steadiness and staying power. Takes commitment seriously and builds something lasting. A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Venus conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Mercury opposition Mars (wide at 4.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.
Venus opposition Mars (close at 1.8°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his discipline and his imagination (the Moon, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
