What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

    Venus conjunction Mars (close at 1.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.

    Mercury conjunction Saturn (wide at 6.7°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (wide at 6.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his drive and his intensity (Venus, Mars and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
