What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Soft-hearted and full of imagination. Picks up on feelings nobody has said out loud. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (close at 2.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon square Saturn (close at 1.6°) · For a birth after 12:40 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. 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. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (close at 1.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (wide at 5.7°)

  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

    The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
