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. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (wide at 5.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.

    The Moon square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

    Venus sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (close at 1.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his optimism and his imagination (Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
