What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.

    The Sun conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.6°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (close at 1.1°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    Venus square Jupiter (wide at 4.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

    Mercury square Jupiter (close at 3.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (wide at 5.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

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