What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.

    The Sun quincunx Neptune (wide at 3.9°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit

    Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon opposition Uranus (close at 2.7°) · For a birth after 3:07 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (close at 3.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: he acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.

    Mercury quincunx Mars (exact at 0.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (wide at 5.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
