What his chart says about him
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. Born near a new Moon, so what he wanted and what he needed moved as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.
The Sun conjunction the Moon (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needed
Moon in Leo or Virgo, the Warm Heart
Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
The Moon conjunction Saturn (close at 2.3°) · For a birth after 10:34 p.m., his Moon was in Virgo.
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Venus opposition Neptune (wide at 3.5°)
How he thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and he spent time explaining how he got there.
Mercury quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)
What drove him
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars square Jupiter (wide at 6.3°)
