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 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 4.9°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon opposition Uranus (close at 2.3°) · For a birth after 9:50 p.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (wide at 4.7°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 6.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his optimism and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
