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. He took in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gave them back as something new.

    The Sun conjunction Neptune (close at 1.9°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra or Scorpio, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon opposition Uranus (close at 2.1°) · For a birth after 5:09 p.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 3.6°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and he spent time explaining how he got there.

    Mercury quincunx Uranus (close at 2.2°)

  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. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (close at 2.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his drive and his optimism (the Sun, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
