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. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (close at 1.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.

    The Moon trine Neptune (close at 2.5°) · For a birth before 3:43 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and he weighs words before letting them go.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
