What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth

    Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year.

    For a birth after 12:14 p.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

    Venus sextile Neptune (close at 1.4°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. He loved ideas, the bigger the better, and he could talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (close at 2.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart, his optimism and his intensity (the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
