What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

    Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.

    The Moon trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces or Aries, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

    Mercury opposition Pluto (close at 2.6°) · For a birth after 3:18 p.m., his Mercury was in Aries.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (close at 2.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his independence and his intensity (the Moon, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
