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. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (exact at 0.0°)

  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. Intense, private feelings: he kept an inner life few people saw, and he guarded it well.

    The Moon conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

    Venus quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

    Mercury opposition Saturn (wide at 5.6°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (close at 1.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his optimism and his imagination (Venus, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
