What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)
What he needs
Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth after 4:15 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Venus conjunction Neptune (close at 1.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace.
What drives him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)
The shape of his chart
