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.
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
The Moon square Pluto (wide at 3.1°)
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.
Venus conjunction Mars (close at 1.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
Mercury square Jupiter (close at 1.0°)
What drove him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 2.9°)
The shape of his chart
Mercury is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his mind touched everything else in it.
