What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (wide at 3.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
The Moon opposition Pluto (close at 1.3°)
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 (close at 1.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 2.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal.
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his mind, his heart and his drive (Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
