What his chart says about him

  1. 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. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (close at 1.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.

    The Moon square Mercury (close at 1.9°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. What he found beautiful and what he desired kept parting ways, and love took some working out.

  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 generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

    Mercury trine Mars (close at 3.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
