What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun opposition Uranus (close at 2.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. Tenderness through and through: he needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

    The Moon conjunction Venus (close at 1.4°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

    Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury opposition Mars (close at 2.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (wide at 6.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
