What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Venus quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (close at 1.7°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal.
The shape of his chart
The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in three of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touched everything else in it. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
The sky the day he was born
