What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo or Leo, the Fixer
Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth before 8:02 a.m., his Sun was in Leo.
What he needed
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
The Moon trine Venus (close at 1.6°)
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches.
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (close at 2.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars sextile Neptune (close at 1.3°)
