What his chart says about him
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. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
The Sun quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame
Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on.
For a birth before 4:21 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loves
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus opposition Neptune (close at 2.2°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and he weighs words before letting them go.
Mercury quincunx Saturn (close at 1.0°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)
The shape of his chart
Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it.
