What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. 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 (close at 1.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reach him as if they are his own.
The Moon conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he loves
Venus in Virgo or Libra, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Venus sextile Mars (wide at 4.1°) · For a birth after 9:38 p.m., his Venus was in Libra.
How he thinks
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. 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 3.9°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
The Sun square Mars (close at 2.2°)
The shape of his chart
The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it.
