What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.

    The Sun quincunx Uranus (close at 1.9°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in.

    For a birth before 12:39 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 8.5°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury sextile Mars (wide at 3.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.

    Mars quincunx Pluto (close at 1.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it.
