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. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, 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 (close at 2.1°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

    Venus conjunction Saturn (close at 1.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (close at 2.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touches everything else in it.
