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. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (wide at 4.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (close at 3.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 3.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

    Mars opposition Jupiter (close at 1.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his independence and his intensity (Venus, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
