What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (wide at 5.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.0°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won his heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 2.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (close at 2.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Venus, Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
