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. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (close at 1.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Tenderness through and through: he needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

    The Moon conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth after 6:03 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

    Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
