What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. 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 (almost exact at 0.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.

    The Moon trine Neptune (close at 1.0°) · For a birth before 1:51 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Tenderness through and through: he needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

    The Moon conjunction Venus (close at 2.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

    Mercury square Saturn (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Steady, strong and very patient. He keeps going long after others stop. 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 0.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
