What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.

    The Sun quincunx Uranus (close at 2.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.

    The Moon conjunction Mercury (wide at 3.4°) · For a birth before 12:29 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.

    Mars quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his imagination and his intensity (Mars, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
