What his chart says about him

  1. 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. Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.

    The Sun conjunction Pluto (wide at 4.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (wide at 4.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. 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 (close at 1.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (wide at 5.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his optimism and his discipline (the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
