What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 5.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon square Saturn (close at 2.8°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 2.8°)

  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. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth and water signs: the practical and the solid, and feeling and intuition.
