What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    The Sun square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (close at 1.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.

    Mercury conjunction Saturn (close at 2.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
