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. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun square Jupiter (wide at 4.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance.
How he thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.

What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

The shape of his chart
Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
