What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Aim and action ran at different speeds, and he spent real effort keeping them in step.

    The Sun quincunx Mars (close at 1.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide

    Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.

    The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 5:33 p.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 2.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touched everything else in it. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
