What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around him. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    The Sun opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms.

    For a birth before 2:40 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

    Venus opposition Saturn (wide at 4.6°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (close at 1.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his drive and his intensity (the Sun, Mars and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
