Matthew Rhys’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

   Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

   The Sun conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.5°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

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

   For a birth before 5:18 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

   Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

   Venus trine Saturn (close at 2.7°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

   Mercury conjunction Uranus (close at 2.3°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

   Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

   Mars trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.5°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Venus and Mars) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
