What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

    The Sun square Saturn (wide at 4.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. Tenderness through and through: he needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

    The Moon conjunction Venus (close at 1.5°) · For a birth after 6:25 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

    Venus opposition Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. He thinks with his feelings: memory, mood and wit come together, and his words give away what he feels.

    The Moon conjunction Mercury (wide at 3.4°)

  5. 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. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Venus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his heart touches everything else in it.
