What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
The Moon trine Venus (close at 1.8°)
How he loved
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.
Venus conjunction Mars (wide at 5.9°)
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 generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury trine Jupiter (wide at 5.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front.
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
