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 reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun square Jupiter (close at 1.1°)
What he needed
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
Venus conjunction Saturn (close at 2.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
Mercury square Jupiter (wide at 3.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Mars opposition Uranus (wide at 5.6°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his heart, his discipline and his intensity (Venus, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
