What his chart says about him

  1. 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. His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
