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. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun square Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (close at 1.1°)
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
Venus conjunction Mars (wide at 3.3°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Mercury opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)
What drives him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail.
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his discipline and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
