What his chart says about him
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. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needs
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself.
How he loves
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals.
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. 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 (wide at 5.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.
Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 2.6°)
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. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
