What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun trine Jupiter (close at 2.2°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in.
How he loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus square Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury square Neptune (close at 2.3°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.
Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 1.7°)
The shape of his chart
Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
