What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun square Saturn (exact at 0.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
The Sun sextile the Moon (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he loves
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him.
How he thinks
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
