What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Born original: his identity and his need for freedom were the same thing, and he surprised people, himself included.
The Sun conjunction Uranus (wide at 3.9°)
What he needed
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.
The Moon conjunction Mars (wide at 3.9°)
How he loved
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Venus conjunction Pluto (close at 2.5°)
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 5.8°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.
Mars quincunx Pluto (close at 1.6°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his heart, his independence and his intensity (the Sun, Venus, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth and air signs: the practical and the solid, and ideas and people.
