What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. Self-contained: he keeps his feelings in order, and he gives comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

    The Moon conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.5°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 9.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

    Mercury square Neptune (close at 2.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (close at 2.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
