What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (wide at 8.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

    Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. His feelings and his imagination pulled in different directions: he lived between what was real and what he longed for.

    The Moon square Neptune (close at 1.9°) · For a birth before 3:42 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (wide at 5.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. 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 (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (wide at 3.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
