What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

    The Sun trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

    Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (close at 2.2°) · For a birth before 9:54 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.8°)

  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. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (wide at 4.6°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars sextile Neptune (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
