What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.

    The Sun quincunx Neptune (close at 1.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.

    The Moon trine Jupiter (close at 1.6°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Philosopher

    A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. He loved ideas, the bigger the better, and he could talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (wide at 6.3°) · For a birth after 4:16 p.m., his Mercury was in Capricorn.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (wide at 3.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
