Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
The Sun trine Pluto (close at 1.4°)
What he needed
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it.

Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
