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. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (wide at 4.9°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself. Big feelings and a big heart: his good moods lift everyone near, and he gives comfort freely.

    The Moon conjunction Jupiter (close at 2.6°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: he acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.

    Mercury quincunx Mars (close at 1.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus square Mars (close at 2.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touches everything else in it. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
