What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (close at 2.7°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.

    The Moon sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (close at 1.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 2.2°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his heart, his drive and his discipline (the Moon, Venus, Mars and Saturn) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
