What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun trine Saturn (wide at 3.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault
Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Moon square Uranus (close at 2.0°) · For a birth before 11:57 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.
Venus square Mars (wide at 3.3°)
How he thought
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury trine Mars (close at 1.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (wide at 3.6°)
The shape of his chart
Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
