What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
The Sun sextile the Moon (almost exact at 0.5°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Moon opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 6.3°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (wide at 6.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
