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. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely.

    For a birth after 12:39 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus square Uranus (wide at 3.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

    Mercury sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.3°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)

  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. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
