What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Leo or Cancer, 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. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (close at 1.7°) · For a birth before 9:16 a.m., his Sun was in Cancer.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different.

    For a birth after 9:28 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his independence and his intensity (Venus, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
