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. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
The Sun square Saturn (close at 2.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame
Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on.
For a birth before 2:13 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (wide at 4.2°)
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
Mercury conjunction Neptune (wide at 4.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars square Jupiter (wide at 5.2°)
