What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. 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 (close at 2.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair.

    For a birth before 11:43 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

    Mercury sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his discipline (Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
