What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around him. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: he moves forward a step, then checks it.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
