What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun square Neptune (wide at 3.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide

    Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness.

    For a birth after 12:29 p.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging.

  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, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

    Mercury sextile Mars (close at 2.8°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (wide at 6.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his optimism, his discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
