What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  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. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

    Mercury trine Pluto (close at 1.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and he aims again and again.

    Mars quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
