What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (close at 1.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (close at 2.4°) · For a birth before 12:20 a.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

    Venus trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and he weighs words before letting them go.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words.

  6. The shape of his chart

    No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
