What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun square Neptune (close at 1.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.

    The Moon opposition Mars (close at 1.9°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. He keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.

    Venus quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury sextile Mars (close at 2.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus square Mars (wide at 6.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touches everything else in it.
