What his chart says about him
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. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.3°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself.
How he loved
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Venus sextile Jupiter (wide at 4.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once.
What drove him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.
Mars quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his drive and his independence (the Moon, Mars and Uranus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
