What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (close at 1.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (almost exact at 0.4°) · For a birth after 9:53 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus square Uranus (close at 1.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (wide at 4.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
