What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide

    Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°) · For a birth before 2:38 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  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 deep, private heart: he draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.

    Venus conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

    Mars opposition Jupiter (wide at 5.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart, his independence and his intensity (the Sun, Venus, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
