What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun opposition Neptune (close at 1.3°)

  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. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (close at 1.3°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (exact at 0.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.

    Mars quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)
