What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. 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 (close at 2.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. Restless feelings: he feels most at home where things are new.

    The Moon conjunction Uranus (wide at 3.7°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (wide at 3.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers.

  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 square Jupiter (wide at 6.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his optimism, his discipline and his intensity (Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.
