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 fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars.

    For a birth before 2:19 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things.

  4. 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.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
