What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (close at 2.9°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

    The Moon opposition Mercury (almost exact at 0.7°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

    Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

    Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 2.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus square Mars (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
