Sun in Taurus or Gemini, the Gardener
Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth after 5:16 p.m., his Sun was in Gemini.
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit
Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.

Venus conjunction Uranus (wide at 4.7°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
