What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 3.9°)
What he needed
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
The Moon sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.
Venus sextile Pluto (wide at 4.0°)
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, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Mercury sextile Uranus (wide at 3.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Mars square Saturn (close at 1.3°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his mind and his heart (the Moon, Mercury and Venus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
