What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (wide at 6.0°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, 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 square Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth after 12:44 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.

    Mercury opposition Jupiter (wide at 3.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire and water signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and feeling and intuition.
