George Bush has the Sun in Cancer, closely conjunct the USA's Sun in Cancer. But he's not exactly known for his sensitive side. It's very much there though: his attachment to his family, his homeland, his ranch, his sensitivity to being criticised, and so on.
Bob Geldof's interview of George talks about this side of George, picking up his Sun's conjunction with the USA's Sun very well:
"George W Bush, I think, is an emotional man. But sometimes he’s a sentimentalist and that’s different. He is in love with America. Not the idea of America but rather an inchoate notion of a space. A glorious metaphysical entity. America the Good, the Just and the Fair. The shining city on the hill."

"...in public and with me he spoke fluently and often in wonderful aphorisms. Of course he has several verbal ticks; but here in Africa, where he is liked and viewed as a friend, perhaps he was more relaxed. Less guarded [Crab's carapace protects the softer inner nature].
Here are some examples. None is from speeches or prepared texts...
“Stop coming to Africa feeling guilty. Come with love and feeling confident for its future.”
“I like courage and compassion. We are a nation of courageous and compassionate people.”
“When we see hunger we feed them. Not to spread our influence, but because they’re hungry.”
“Evil does exist and in such brutal forms.”
“Outside forces tend to divide people.” “US solutions should not be imposed on African leaders.”"
