What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Leo or Virgo, the Bright One
Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (wide at 5.9°) · For a birth after 7:27 p.m., his Sun was in Virgo.
What he needed
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
The Moon square Venus (almost exact at 0.4°)

Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.

What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
Mars conjunction Neptune (close at 1.8°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his heart, his drive, his optimism and his imagination (Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
