What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (wide at 6.2°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself.

    For a birth before 3:57 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. A generous heart: love and good company came to him easily, and he shared both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 1.2°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars sextile Neptune (close at 1.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his heart, his optimism and his discipline (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
