What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.

    The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth after 1:04 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. What he found beautiful and what he desired kept parting ways, and love took some working out.

    Venus quincunx Mars (close at 1.0°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

    Mercury trine Mars (wide at 5.1°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (wide at 6.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

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