What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun trine Saturn (close at 2.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely.

    For a birth before 8:23 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)

  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. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (wide at 4.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

    Mars square Saturn (wide at 5.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touches everything else in it. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
