What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun square Pluto (close at 1.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.
How he loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus sextile Uranus (close at 2.3°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal.

The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
