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. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around him feel the same.

    For a birth before 2:49 a.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.

    Venus conjunction Pluto (wide at 5.3°)

  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 sextile Neptune (close at 1.6°)

  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. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first.
