What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Explorer

    Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

    The Sun square the Moon (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth before 4:49 a.m., his Sun was in Scorpio.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth before 10:11 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his optimism, his discipline and his independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
