What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.

    Venus conjunction Mars (close at 1.4°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

    Mercury square Neptune (wide at 4.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 3.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

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