What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (wide at 3.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
The Moon sextile Mercury (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. His taste and his appetite for more needed adjusting: he kept learning what was enough.
Venus quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he thought
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (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. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
Mars trine Saturn (wide at 4.7°)
The shape of his chart
