What his chart says about him
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. 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 square Jupiter (wide at 3.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.7°)
How he loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Venus square Neptune (close at 1.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 1.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Mars square Saturn (close at 2.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
