What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.

    The Sun conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon square Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth before 8:55 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo or Virgo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (wide at 3.3°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
