What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

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