What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (wide at 5.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

    Venus sextile Pluto (close at 1.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

    Mercury square Neptune (wide at 6.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (wide at 3.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his discipline and his independence (the Moon, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
