What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (almost exact at 0.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.

    The Moon square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (close at 1.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
