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. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

    The Sun square Saturn (wide at 3.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk.

    For a birth before 12:21 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

    Venus trine Saturn (close at 1.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five 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.
