Brad Wellman's chart reveals a radiant, creative force... someone who needs to express, to be seen, and finds identity through the courage to shine. With a Leo Sun in the 11th house, their sense of purpose is expressed through the domain of community and vision... a placement that shapes how they show up in the world and what they're here to do.
Beneath the surface, an Aquarius Moon speaks to what Brad needs emotionally... intellectual space, community, and the freedom to feel without being defined by it. This is the private self, the part that exists when the spotlight fades.
The world meets Brad through Virgo rising... composed, thoughtful, and detail-oriented... someone who appears to have everything together. This is the lens through which all of their chart's energy is filtered, the first thing people sense before they know the full story.
Their drive is methodical and precise... they achieve through careful, sustained effort. With 5 retrograde planets in their natal chart, much of Brad's energy is directed inward... a rich inner world that fuels their outer expression. A concentration of planets in Leo gives Brad's chart a strong Leo emphasis... amplifying the themes of that sign throughout their life.

Chart Interpretations
Sun in Leo in House 11
Your Sun in Leo in the eleventh house places your radiant warmth, generous creativity, and genuine desire to be celebrated in the life area of friendships, communities, and the collective visions that point toward a better future ... and fixed fire's sustained loyalty and inclusive warmth make you one of the most genuinely elevating presences in any community you choose to inhabit. Leo is ruled by the Sun, and in the 11th house that means your sense of purpose is genuinely nourished by communities of chosen connection: the social world is not a backdrop to your real life but a domain where your identity finds some of its most joyful expression. You are drawn to communities organized around genuine creative vitality and shared purpose ... not merely functional networks but living groups where people show up as their most alive and expressive selves. Fixed modality means once you are part of a community you care about, your loyalty and sustaining presence are remarkable. To work with this energy consciously, be as generously celebratory toward others in your social world as you naturally desire to be celebrated yourself ... the community presence that elevates everyone it touches is operating at Leo's highest expression. The honest challenge is the social need for recognition in collective settings: Leo in the 11th can find community engagement draining when its contributions go unacknowledged, and the growth is developing the ability to give freely to the collective from an abundance that doesn't require immediate return.
Moon in Aquarius in House 5
Your Moon in Aquarius in the fifth house connects your emotional wellbeing to creative experimentation, unconventional romance, and the genuine joy of intellectual and social play that breaks conventional molds. The fifth house governs creativity, romance, and pleasure, and Aquarius ... a fixed air sign ... brings originality, progressive thinking, and a resistance to predictable formulas to these passionate domains. This placement means you are most emotionally alive when creating something genuinely original, engaging in friendships that carry a romantic or playful energy, or participating in group creative projects that feel innovative and socially relevant. In romance, you value friendship and intellectual compatibility alongside attraction, and you need a partner who respects your individuality and shares your progressive values. Your creative work may involve technology, social commentary, or experimental forms that challenge audience expectations. The invitation here is to notice allowing emotional vulnerability and personal passion into your creative and romantic life rather than maintaining intellectual distance. Consciously practice creating from raw feeling as well as from conceptual brilliance. Your gift for bringing originality and progressive vision to creative expression and romantic love produces work and relationships of genuine freshness that challenge and inspire everyone who encounters them.
Mercury in Leo in House 11
Your Mercury in Leo in the eleventh house brings a warmly inspiring, charismatically expressive, and genuinely loyal communicative presence to your social world ... your friendships, community groups, and collective causes are energized by your natural ability to rally people around a vision and to make individuals feel genuinely valued within the group. Mercury governs how you think and communicate in social contexts; Leo is fixed fire ruled by the Sun, and in the eleventh house of friendship, community, and collective aspiration, that quality means your social communication has a quality of genuine warmth and personal investment that makes people feel celebrated rather than merely included. You are often the person who speaks up in defense of someone who is not being heard, who articulates the group's aspirations with more passion and clarity than the group had previously managed, and who ensures that the human dimension of collective work is never entirely lost in the logistics. To work with this energy consciously, direct your considerable social and expressive energy toward communities and causes that genuinely deserve it ... your gift for inspiring collective enthusiasm is real, and it serves the world most when it is in service of goals that are actually worth inspiring people toward. The growth edge is that Leo's fixed quality in the eleventh house can make your social identity feel closely tied to your status within particular groups; the growth work is developing enough independence from social recognition that your engagement with community is driven by genuine care rather than by the warmth of collective approval.
Venus in Virgo in House 12
℞Your Venus in Virgo in the twelfth house creates a deeply private, analytical, and service-oriented inner world where love and beauty are experienced through quiet devotion and self-reflection. Venus in its fall in the twelfth house can intensify self-criticism and a sense of unworthiness in love that operates below conscious awareness. You may struggle with feeling that you are never quite good enough to deserve the love you want. Private acts of service, behind-the-scenes helpfulness, and solitary creative pursuits that require precision and skill bring genuine fulfillment. Spiritual practices that involve body awareness, mindfulness, or compassionate self-inquiry are especially healing for you. The growth opportunity is uncovering and gently releasing the hidden self-criticism that blocks your ability to receive love fully. Consciously engage in practices that build self-compassion ... journaling, therapy, meditation ... and you will discover that the love you have been seeking outwardly has been available within you all along.
Mars in Virgo in House 12
Your Mars in Virgo in the twelfth house places precise, analytical, and service-driven energy in the realm of the hidden, spiritual, and unconscious. You may work tirelessly behind the scenes in service to others, finding deep satisfaction in quiet, skillful contribution that goes largely unnoticed. There can be a pattern of self-criticism that operates below conscious awareness ... a quiet inner voice pointing out what isn't good enough. Regular practices of self-compassion alongside your natural drive for self-improvement are genuinely balancing. The insight: the same analytical attention you give to improving the external world, turned inward with kindness rather than judgment, leads to profound personal growth.
Jupiter in Scorpio in House 3
Your Jupiter in Scorpio in the third house brings depth, intensity, and psychological insight to your communication style, learning habits, and everyday connections. You communicate with conviction and a penetrating quality that cuts through superficial exchanges to reveal deeper truths. Your mind is drawn to subjects that others find taboo or uncomfortable ... psychology, power dynamics, sexuality, death, and the hidden mechanisms of human behavior. Writing or speaking about these subjects is a natural gift. Learning engages you most when it involves discovery, investigation, or uncovering what has been concealed. Relationships with siblings may be intense and transformative. The challenge is communicative intensity that overwhelms others or a tendency toward suspicion in casual interactions. Balance your depth with accessibility and trust, and your powerful communicative gift becomes a vehicle for genuine revelation that others find both challenging and deeply valuable.
Saturn in Capricorn in House 4
℞Your Saturn in Capricorn in the fourth house, Saturn in its own sign, places exceptional strength and complexity at the very root of your private life and family heritage. Your upbringing may have been characterized by high expectations, significant family responsibility, or the experience of a father figure who modeled the demanding Saturnian qualities of discipline and accountability. The home you work to build in adulthood is a serious undertaking ... you approach it as an investment in long-term stability and legacy rather than mere comfort. The challenge is to ensure that your home is not merely a well-managed structure but also a genuinely warm and nourishing environment. What you build here, you build for generations.
Uranus in Leo in House 11
Your Uranus in Leo in the eleventh house brings creative leadership and dramatic energy to your friendships, social groups, and collective aspirations. Leo is fixed fire, so you approach community life with warmth, generosity, and a natural desire to lead, while Uranus in detriment adds a revolutionary edge to your social vision. As a generational placement, your cohort transforms social movements around individual rights and creative expression, and with Uranus in your eleventh house, you are personally drawn to groups that celebrate individuality within community. You may be the charismatic center of your friend group, organizing events, championing causes, or inspiring collective creative projects. Your friendships tend to be with other strong, creative personalities, and group dynamics may include moments of drama and power struggle. The challenge is sharing the spotlight within collective spaces, since true community requires collaboration rather than a single star. When you use your natural charisma to empower the group rather than dominate it, your social impact becomes exponentially greater than anything you could achieve alone.
Neptune in Scorpio in House 2
Your Neptune in Scorpio in the second house blends the planet of idealism and dissolution with Scorpio's intense, all-or-nothing energy, directing it into the house of money, possessions, and personal values. Neptune in Scorpio is generational, but the second house makes financial and self-worth themes personally significant. Your relationship with money and resources is deep and emotionally charged ... financial security may feel existentially important, or conversely you may periodically seek to dissolve your attachment to material things entirely. You are drawn to earn and invest with intensity and strategic depth. The practical insight is to develop a conscious, clear relationship with money that neither obsesses over control nor escapes into magical thinking, but treats resources as a powerful tool for genuine transformation.
Pluto in Virgo in House 12
Your Pluto in Virgo in the twelfth house conceals transformative analytical power in the hidden realm of the unconscious, spirituality, and solitude. Virgo's mutable earth energy gives a practical, detail-oriented quality to your inner life, and you may find yourself unconsciously analyzing, categorizing, and attempting to perfect aspects of experience that are inherently beyond rational control. Hidden health anxieties, buried perfectionism, and suppressed criticism ... directed at yourself or others ... may operate from the shadows until you bring them into conscious awareness. Dreams and periods of solitude may surface detailed, analytically precise insights that your waking mind overlooks. Spiritual practices that involve body awareness, mindful attention to detail, or structured meditation can be profoundly transformative. The challenge is releasing the need to understand and fix everything, especially the parts of life that belong to mystery and surrender. When you let go of hidden perfectionism and embrace the beautiful imperfection of being human, you discover a deep, quiet peace.
North Node in Libra in House 1
℞Your North Node in Libra in the first house calls you to develop an identity rooted in grace, diplomacy, and genuine consideration for others ... to learn to show up in the world not as a lone warrior but as someone who leads with fairness and relational awareness. You are here to soften the edges of your South Node's self-focused directness and develop the art of true partnership, tact, and aesthetic refinement. The first house focuses this growth directly on your personal style, body language, and first impressions. Cultivate an elegant, harmonious personal presence, listen as much as you speak, and let your beauty and fairness be the first thing people experience. Grace in your very being is your evolutionary gift.
Chiron in Aquarius in House 5
℞Your Chiron in Aquarius in the fifth house places the Wounded Healer in creativity, romance, and self-expression through Aquarius' innovative, intellectually driven fixed air energy. Your core wound involves the fear that your creative vision is too unusual, too detached, or too cerebral to be enjoyed or loved by others. You may have been told that your creative work was too weird, or that your romantic style ... independent, intellectual, unconventional ... was not warm or passionate enough. There can be a painful disconnect between your desire for authentic self-expression and your fear that authenticity will lead to rejection. Your gift is a genuinely original creative spirit that produces work others have never seen before, and a capacity for love that honors intellectual connection alongside emotional depth. The growth path involves trusting that the right audience for your creative work and the right partner for your heart will value your uniqueness rather than asking you to conform.
Ascendant (Rising) in Virgo
With Virgo rising, you come across as thoughtful, precise, and quietly competent. People trust your judgment because you clearly pay attention to details others miss. There's a modesty to your presence that understates how capable you actually are. You process the world through analysis and service.
Descendant in Pisces
With your Descendant in Pisces, you're drawn to partners who are empathic, creative, and spiritually attuned. You seek relationships with emotional depth and a sense of transcendence... where connection goes beyond words.
Midheaven in Gemini
With your Midheaven in Gemini, your career thrives on communication, versatility, and intellectual stimulation. You're drawn to work that lets you talk, write, teach, or connect ideas. Your public reputation is built on being the person who can explain anything to anyone.
Imum Coeli in Sagittarius
With your IC in Sagittarius, your roots are shaped by philosophy, freedom, and a sense of adventure. Your childhood may have involved travel, diverse beliefs, or an emphasis on the bigger picture. You recharge through exploration and meaning-making.
