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. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Leo or Virgo, the Warm Heart
Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 2:16 p.m., his Moon was in Virgo.
How he loves
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.
Venus quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury square Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°)
What drives him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mars square Saturn (wide at 5.7°)
