What his chart says about him
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. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun square Jupiter (wide at 3.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth
Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year.
For a birth before 4:08 a.m., his Moon was in Aries.
How he loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Venus sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
Mercury square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mars trine Uranus (close at 1.6°)
