What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

    The Sun opposition Saturn (wide at 8.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. Self-contained: he keeps his feelings in order, and he gives comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

    The Moon conjunction Saturn (close at 2.6°) · For a birth after 9:07 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (wide at 3.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio or Libra, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

    Mercury opposition Saturn (wide at 7.5°) · For a birth after 11:46 p.m., his Mercury was in Libra.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
