What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 1.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure.

    For a birth after 12:20 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus sextile Uranus (wide at 4.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (wide at 5.3°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (exact at 0.0°)
