What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.

    The Sun trine the Moon (almost exact at 0.6°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure.

    For a birth after 2:15 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Romance without limits: he fell for ideals as much as people, and his taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.

    Venus conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (wide at 5.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his drive and his intensity (Mercury, Mars and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first.
