What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

    The Sun square the Moon (close at 1.6°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. He thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and he remembers everything.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
