What his chart says about him
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. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
The Sun square Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
The Moon square Pluto (close at 1.0°)
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. His taste and his appetite for more needed adjusting: he kept learning what was enough.
Venus quincunx Jupiter (close at 2.1°)
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (wide at 3.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Steady, strong and very patient. He kept going long after others stopped.
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
