Brian Dennehy’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

   The Sun sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

   Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Leo, the Romantic

   Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

   Venus opposition Jupiter (wide at 7.0°)

4. 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 (wide at 5.3°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Cancer, the Defender

   Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

   Mars sextile Neptune (close at 2.6°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his drive and his intensity (the Sun, Mars and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
