What his chart says about him

  1. 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. He took in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gave them back as something new.

    The Sun conjunction Neptune (close at 1.0°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth after 1:40 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (exact at 0.0°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury square Mars (close at 1.3°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow to start and impossible to stop. He worked steadily, built things to last and did not give up under pressure.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
