What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (close at 2.9°)
What he needs
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. A deep, private heart: he draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.
Venus conjunction Pluto (wide at 6.9°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (wide at 3.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Libra or Scorpio, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
