What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.

    The Sun quincunx Saturn (wide at 4.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.

    The Moon square Mars (close at 1.2°) · For a birth before 8:50 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 3.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (wide at 5.0°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (close at 2.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
