What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.4°) · For a birth after 8:46 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. His taste and his appetite for more needed adjusting: he kept learning what was enough.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

    Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
