What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (wide at 4.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.

    The Moon square Mercury (close at 1.4°) · For a birth before 11:06 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

    Mercury sextile Pluto (wide at 3.2°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.

    Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 2.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
