What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. Born near a new Moon, so what he wants and what he needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.

    The Sun conjunction the Moon (almost exact at 0.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (wide at 3.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 1.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his feelings, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth and air signs: the practical and the solid, and ideas and people.
