What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
The Sun conjunction Pluto (wide at 6.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide
Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company.
For a birth after 4:59 p.m., his Moon was in Aries.
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 2.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.2°)
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mars sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his drive and his intensity (the Sun, Mars and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
