What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. 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 (close at 1.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head
Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them. His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
The Moon square Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°) · For a birth after 9:46 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loves
Venus in Virgo or Leo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Venus trine Saturn (wide at 4.7°) · For a birth before 7:49 a.m., his Venus was in Leo.
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury square Neptune (wide at 5.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mars square Saturn (wide at 6.6°)
The shape of his chart
Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire and earth signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and the practical and the solid.
