What his chart says about him
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. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (close at 2.8°)
What he needs
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own.
How he loves
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
Venus square Pluto (almost exact at 0.3°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas.
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him.
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his drive and his independence (the Sun, Mars and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
