What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

    The Moon sextile Mercury (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth after 8:42 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Tenderness through and through: he needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

    The Moon conjunction Venus (close at 2.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (close at 2.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Mercury is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his mind touches everything else in it.
