What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.

    The Sun conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (wide at 5.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

    Mars square Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart, his drive, his optimism and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
