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. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Moon square Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (close at 1.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Mercury opposition Neptune (close at 2.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.
Mars quincunx Saturn (close at 1.6°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
