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 shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

  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. Big feelings and a big heart: his good moods lift everyone near, and he gives comfort freely.

    The Moon conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.1°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. A poet’s mind: he hears what goes unsaid, and his best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

    Mercury conjunction Neptune (close at 1.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (wide at 4.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his discipline and his intensity (Venus, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
