What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (close at 1.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

    Venus trine Neptune (close at 1.0°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

    Mercury square Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 6.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
