What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Scorpio or Libra, the Detective

    Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.

    The Sun conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 6:35 a.m., his Sun was in Libra.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (almost exact at 0.4°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (close at 2.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (close at 2.7°)

  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. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his optimism and his intensity (Venus, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
