What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun square Uranus (close at 2.5°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (close at 1.0°)
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
Venus conjunction Mars (wide at 3.8°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.
Mercury conjunction Saturn (close at 1.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Virgo or Leo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail.
For a birth before 1:20 a.m., his Mars was in Leo.
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his discipline and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
