What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.

    The Sun sextile the Moon (almost exact at 0.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back.

    For a birth before 9:07 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

    Venus trine Pluto (close at 2.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

    Mercury square Pluto (wide at 3.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury trine Mars (wide at 4.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it.
