What his chart says about him
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. Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
The Sun conjunction Saturn (close at 1.4°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (close at 2.0°)
How he loves
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Venus conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
Mars opposition Jupiter (close at 3.0°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his mind, his heart and his imagination (Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.
