What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (exact at 0.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.
How he loves
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.
Venus quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (close at 1.4°)
What drives him
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. 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 0.9°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
