What his chart says about him

  1. 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. He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    The Sun opposition Jupiter (wide at 4.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.

    The Moon trine Pluto (close at 1.7°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 4.4°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

    Mercury conjunction Uranus (close at 2.8°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

    Mars square Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touched everything else in it.
