What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around him. 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 (close at 1.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
The Sun trine the Moon (close at 1.4°) · For a birth before 5:10 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.
How he loves
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (close at 2.6°)
What drives him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mars square Saturn (close at 2.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
