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. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (close at 2.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.

    The Moon trine Uranus (close at 1.6°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury trine Uranus (close at 2.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Strategist

    Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars trine Pluto (close at 1.1°) · For a birth after 2:14 p.m., his Mars was in Sagittarius.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his mind and his imagination (the Moon, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
