What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around him. 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 2.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. 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 0.3°) · For a birth before 2:31 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

    Venus conjunction Saturn (close at 2.7°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.

    Mars conjunction Uranus (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
