What his chart says about him

  1. 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. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun square Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. 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 (close at 1.5°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (close at 1.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (wide at 4.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his heart, his drive and his intensity (Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
