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 (close at 1.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.

    The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.9°) · For a birth before 2:47 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury trine Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (close at 2.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
