What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

    The Sun trine Saturn (close at 1.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

    The Moon square Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. Romance without limits: he fell for ideals as much as people, and his taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.

    Venus conjunction Neptune (wide at 4.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury trine Uranus (wide at 3.5°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow to start and impossible to stop. He worked steadily, built things to last and did not give up under pressure. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
