What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Virgo or Leo, the Fixer

    Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

    The Sun quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.2°) · For a birth before 10:19 a.m., his Sun was in Leo.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

    Venus opposition Saturn (close at 1.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

    Mercury sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars trine Jupiter (wide at 5.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his optimism and his discipline (the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
