What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun quincunx Uranus (close at 1.8°)
What he needs
Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand
Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.
For a birth before 11:23 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.
How he loves
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.
Venus conjunction Saturn (wide at 6.1°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.
Mercury quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)
What drives him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow to start and impossible to stop. He works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars trine Pluto (wide at 5.5°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon

The day
