What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aquarius or Pisces, the Free Thinker
Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 4.3°) · For a birth after 12:48 p.m., his Sun was in Pisces.
What he needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair.
How he loves
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.
Venus quincunx Pluto (close at 1.5°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: he acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.
Mercury quincunx Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars trine Jupiter (wide at 6.6°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his drive, his independence and his intensity (Mars, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
