What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.

    The Sun conjunction Uranus (close at 2.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. He keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury trine Mars (close at 2.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He does not rush, and he is hard to push off course. His feelings run hot and fast, and he protects the people he loves fiercely.

    The Moon conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
