What his chart says about him

  1. 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°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself.

    For a birth after 5:59 p.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. 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°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.

    Mercury quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (exact at 0.0°)

  6. 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.
