What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 1.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.

    The Sun square the Moon (wide at 3.1°) · For a birth before 2:15 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.

    Venus quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (close at 2.7°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (close at 1.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
