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. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 2.0°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.

    Mercury trine Neptune (wide at 3.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (close at 1.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
