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. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.
The Sun quincunx Saturn (close at 1.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head
Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them.
For a birth after 3:37 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
Venus square Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)
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. Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.
Mars quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)
