What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun trine Uranus (close at 2.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, 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. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (close at 1.3°) · For a birth after 11:11 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Venus square Uranus (wide at 3.1°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Mercury square Saturn (close at 1.7°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 1.4°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
