What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
The Moon trine Saturn (close at 1.2°)
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. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Venus trine Jupiter (wide at 5.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury trine Mars (wide at 4.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°)
The shape of his chart
Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touched everything else in it. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
