What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (exact at 0.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
The Moon square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus sextile Neptune (wide at 3.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. 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 (wide at 3.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)
