What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (close at 2.3°)

  2. 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. His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.

    The Moon square Neptune (close at 1.8°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (close at 2.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
