What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra or Scorpio, the Peacemaker
Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with.
For a birth after 7:24 p.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
Venus conjunction Mars (wide at 4.7°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Virgo or Libra, the Analyst
A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.
Mercury conjunction Saturn (wide at 6.1°) · For a birth after 3:26 p.m., his Mercury was in Libra.
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.
Mars conjunction Pluto (wide at 7.5°)
The shape of his chart
The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
The sky the day he was born
