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. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
The Sun square Pluto (wide at 4.8°)
What he needed
Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart
Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. His feelings and his imagination pulled in different directions: he lived between what was real and what he longed for.
The Moon square Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 10:19 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Cancer or Leo, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°) · For a birth after 10:43 p.m., his Mercury was in Leo.
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. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Mars opposition Saturn (wide at 3.7°)
