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 purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (wide at 6.9°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.2°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury square Mars (close at 1.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
