What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 2.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide

    Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.

    The Moon square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°) · For a birth after 10:37 p.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury trine Uranus (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.

    Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 1.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touches everything else in it. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
