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 sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.

    For a birth before 12:31 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury square Mars (wide at 4.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (wide at 3.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touches everything else in it.
