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.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (exact at 0.0°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.

    Mercury conjunction Neptune (close at 2.0°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his mind, his heart and his imagination (the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
