What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun trine Saturn (close at 2.3°)
What he needed
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms.
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Venus trine Jupiter (close at 2.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.
Mercury conjunction Pluto (wide at 4.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (close at 2.7°)
