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

    The Sun sextile Uranus (wide at 4.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth after 12:20 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (wide at 4.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. 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 1.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (wide at 3.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
