What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (wide at 6.5°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
The Moon trine Uranus (close at 1.3°)
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. A deep, private heart: he draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.
Venus conjunction Pluto (close at 1.5°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury sextile Saturn (wide at 3.9°)
What drives him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Mars sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.
