What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 2.1°)
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. His feelings and his imagination pulled in different directions: he lived between what was real and what he longed for.
The Moon opposition Neptune (close at 2.7°)
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. His taste and his appetite for more needed adjusting: he kept learning what was enough.
Venus quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 3.3°)
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. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars sextile Neptune (exact at 0.0°)
