What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo or Leo, the Fixer
Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.
The Sun conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.3°) · For a birth before 7:57 a.m., his Sun was in Leo.
What he needed
Moon in Taurus, the Hearth
Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year.
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (wide at 6.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.
Mars conjunction Pluto (close at 2.7°)
