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. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
The Sun square Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure.
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.
Venus sextile Pluto (wide at 3.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. 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 1.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars opposition Jupiter (close at 2.1°)
