What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (wide at 3.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
The Moon square Jupiter (close at 1.3°) · For a birth after 11:42 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 6.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury sextile Mars (wide at 3.4°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
Mars trine Saturn (wide at 3.5°)
