What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. 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 (close at 1.7°)
What he needed
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
The Moon square Venus (close at 2.5°)
How he loved
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him.
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.
Mercury conjunction Pluto (close at 1.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 5.6°)
