What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (wide at 4.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

    The Moon sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth before 3:06 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

    Venus trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 2.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Venus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his heart touched everything else in it.
