What the chart says

In astrology, a Virgo Sun reads as precise and self-critical, with the Moon in Aquarius or Pisces depending on birth hour. By the book, Venus in Libra + Sun in Virgo + Saturn in Capricorn reads as someone who needs beauty and balance, fixes what others miss and learns to put the load down. Elements run earth 48%, air 26%, water 23%, fire 3%, cardinal first at 45%, the nearest mix to Warren Buffett.
