What his chart says about him
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. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun square Uranus (close at 1.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk.
How he loves
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 4.9°)
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 probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (close at 1.4°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)
The shape of his chart
