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. Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.

    The Sun conjunction Saturn (wide at 6.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.

    The Moon sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
