What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (wide at 6.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

    Venus trine Saturn (close at 2.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: he acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.

    Mercury quincunx Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He does not rush, and he is hard to push off course. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus opposition Mars (close at 3.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his independence and his intensity (Mercury, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
