What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.
The Sun quincunx Neptune (close at 1.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker
Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.
For a birth after 2:05 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person.
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mercury conjunction Uranus (close at 1.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (wide at 5.8°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first.
