What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Cancer or Gemini, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun opposition Uranus (wide at 6.7°) · For a birth before 10:06 a.m., his Sun was in Gemini.
What he needed
Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Moon opposition Uranus (close at 1.4°) · For a birth before 1:16 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.
How he loved
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return.
How he thought
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Mars opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)
