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. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 8.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness.

  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 1.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (close at 2.4°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.

    Mars quincunx Neptune (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his optimism, his independence and his imagination (Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
