What his chart says about him
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. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)
What he needed
Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart
Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back.
For a birth before 10:11 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus sextile Neptune (close at 1.3°)
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 4.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)
The shape of his chart
The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
