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. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 3.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. Restless feelings: he felt most at home where things were new.
The Moon conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Venus conjunction Pluto (wide at 6.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers.
What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.

The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his drive and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
