What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around him. He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame
Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth before 3:15 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loves
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. 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 Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)
What drives him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
