What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.

    For a birth before 12:02 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (wide at 3.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
