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. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.

    The Sun quincunx Neptune (wide at 4.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around him feel the same. Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon square Saturn (close at 3.0°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 4.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer or Leo, the Remembering Mind

    A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently.

    For a birth after 1:00 p.m., his Mercury was in Leo.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He does not rush, and he is hard to push off course.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touches everything else in it.
