What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (exact at 0.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it.

    For a birth after 10:31 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 2.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 1.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars sextile Neptune (close at 3.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The weight of his chart sits in fire and air signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
