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. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (wide at 7.4°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.

    The Moon square Mercury (almost exact at 0.2°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.2°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

    Mars square Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
