What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    The Sun square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.

    The Moon trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.

    Mercury conjunction Neptune (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his imagination and his intensity (Mercury, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire and air signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
