What his chart says about him
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. Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter (wide at 8.3°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Tenderness through and through: he needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.
The Moon conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus square Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 2.7°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail.
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his mind, his heart, his drive and his optimism (the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
