What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around him. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun square Uranus (wide at 7.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Taurus, the Hearth
Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around him feel the same. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Moon opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. A generous heart: love and good company came to him easily, and he shared both.
Venus conjunction Jupiter (wide at 6.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (wide at 5.2°)
What drove him
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Mars opposition Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his optimism, his imagination and his intensity (Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
