What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 2.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)

  4. 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 patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.1°)

  6. 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. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
