What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Virgo, 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. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 3.3°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
