What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around him. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon opposition Venus (almost exact at 0.6°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 1.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

    The Moon opposition Mercury (close at 1.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He does not rush, and he is hard to push off course. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (close at 2.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his optimism and his intensity (the Sun, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
