What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.

    The Moon trine Uranus (close at 1.1°) · For a birth before 11:51 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

    Venus sextile Saturn (close at 2.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 3.5°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Steady, strong and very patient. He kept going long after others stopped. Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four 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.
