What his chart says about him
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 (wide at 4.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Aries or Pisces, 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. Tenderness through and through: he needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.
The Moon conjunction Venus (close at 2.0°) · For a birth before 4:56 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loved
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won his heart.
Venus conjunction Uranus (wide at 4.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.
Mercury quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)
What drove him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself.
The shape of his chart
Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in fire and water signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and feeling and intuition.
