What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (close at 1.2°) · For a birth after 6:58 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.
How he loves
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus square Jupiter (wide at 5.2°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Mercury square Saturn (wide at 3.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Mars trine Uranus (wide at 3.9°)
The shape of his chart
Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touches everything else in it.
