What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
The Sun trine Pluto (close at 1.3°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. What he wanted from love and what love gave him kept needing adjustment, and he learned to see people as they were.
Venus quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he thought
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and he spent time explaining how he got there.
Mercury quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)
What drove him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars opposition Jupiter (close at 1.4°)
