Jerry Van Dyke’s birth chart

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. Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.

   The Sun conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.4°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

   Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

   Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.

   Venus conjunction Pluto (close at 1.3°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.

   Mercury conjunction Neptune (wide at 6.1°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

   Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

   The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 6.7°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
