What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around him. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.

    The Moon square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°) · For a birth after 11:21 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (wide at 4.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touched everything else in it.
