What his chart says about him
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. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
The Moon sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 4.4°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mercury conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)
What drives him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)
The shape of his chart
