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 reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    The Sun opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra or Scorpio, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. 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 (close at 2.7°) · For a birth after 3:16 p.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 2.0°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

    Mercury trine Pluto (wide at 5.0°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and he aimed again and again.

    Mars quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) 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.
