What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around him. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (close at 2.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker
Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
The Moon trine Uranus (close at 1.2°) · For a birth before 7:57 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
The Moon square Venus (close at 1.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars opposition Neptune (close at 2.4°)
The shape of his chart
