What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (close at 1.4°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Restless feelings: he feels most at home where things are new.
The Moon conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth after 7:23 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.
How he loves
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus square Jupiter (close at 2.9°)
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 patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°)
What drives him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mars sextile Saturn (wide at 4.3°)
The shape of his chart
Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
