What his chart says about him

  1. 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. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (wide at 4.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon opposition Uranus (close at 2.3°) · For a birth after 4:55 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
