What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 9.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help.

    For a birth before 6:19 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (close at 2.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
