What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon opposition Saturn (close at 2.5°) · For a birth before 7:17 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus or Gemini, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.4°) · For a birth after 10:15 p.m., his Venus was in Gemini.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (wide at 3.6°)
