What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
The Sun square the Moon (almost exact at 0.2°)
What he needed
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (almost exact at 0.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. 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 (wide at 8.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow to start and impossible to stop. He worked steadily, built things to last and did not give up under pressure. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)
The shape of his chart
Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touched everything else in it.
