What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)
How he loves
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (wide at 6.3°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (wide at 3.8°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
