What his chart says about him
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°)
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°)
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°)
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°)
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.
