What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

    The Sun square Saturn (wide at 3.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back.

    For a birth before 2:03 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.

    Venus conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

    Mercury trine Mars (wide at 4.2°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (close at 2.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his heart and his intensity (Mercury, Venus and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
