Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms.

Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.

What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
