What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
The Sun conjunction Pluto (wide at 3.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
The Moon sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he loves
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (wide at 6.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter (wide at 3.7°)
What drives him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Mars square Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his mind, his optimism and his independence (the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
