What his chart says about him

  1. 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. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun square Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

    The Moon square Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 1:26 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. He thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and he remembers everything.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow to start and impossible to stop. He works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
