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 confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (close at 2.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.

    The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.5°) · For a birth before 4:58 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

    Venus square Pluto (close at 1.6°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.

    Mercury quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (close at 2.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
