What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    The Sun square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

    The Moon opposition Mercury (almost exact at 0.9°) · For a birth before 4:45 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

    Mercury sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his independence and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
