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. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

    The Sun opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.

    The Sun opposition the Moon (wide at 3.2°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (wide at 4.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Enthusiasm at full speed: he charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed him only briefly.

    Mars conjunction Jupiter (wide at 5.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his discipline and his independence (the Moon, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Scorpio, 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.
