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. 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 5.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. Intense, private feelings: he keeps an inner life few people see, and he guards it well.
The Moon conjunction Pluto (close at 1.9°)
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Venus sextile Mars (close at 2.4°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 1.2°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
