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. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

    The Sun square Saturn (close at 2.0°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (close at 1.2°) · For a birth before 9:23 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries or Pisces, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

    Venus trine Saturn (close at 2.0°) · For a birth before 4:03 a.m., his Venus was in Pisces.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

    Mercury trine Pluto (wide at 3.2°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

    Mars trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
