What his chart says about him

  1. 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. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

    The Sun square Saturn (close at 2.0°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (close at 2.0°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. He loved ideas, the bigger the better, and he could talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.

    Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his mind, his optimism and his independence (the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
