What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. Intensity at the centre: he wanted the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remade himself more than once to reach it.
The Sun conjunction Pluto (close at 1.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Tenderness through and through: he needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.
The Moon conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.4°)
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Venus sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.1°)
How he thought
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)
What drove him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars trine Neptune (close at 1.6°)
