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. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (close at 2.6°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.

    For a birth before 4:08 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (wide at 4.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

    Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 1.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury square Mars (wide at 5.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
