What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun square Saturn (close at 1.2°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with.
How he loves
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.9°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. 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 2.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (wide at 5.7°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
