What his chart says about him
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. He kept fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans had to wait.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. Intense, private feelings: he kept an inner life few people saw, and he guarded it well.
The Moon conjunction Pluto (close at 2.4°)
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 4.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.2°)
What drove him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow to start and impossible to stop. He worked steadily, built things to last and did not give up under pressure. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars opposition Jupiter (wide at 4.0°)
