Richard Griffiths’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Leo, the Bright One

   Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

   The Sun sextile Neptune (close at 1.1°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

   Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.

   The Moon opposition Mercury (almost exact at 0.5°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

   Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

   The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 9.4°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

   Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

   Mercury trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

   Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Electric: he acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.

   Mars conjunction Uranus (wide at 3.5°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his discipline and his intensity (the Sun, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
