What his chart says about him

  1. 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. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (close at 2.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his drive and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
