What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter (wide at 3.4°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.
The Moon sextile Neptune (exact at 0.0°)
How he loves
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus opposition Neptune (wide at 3.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (wide at 5.2°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.3°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his drive and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
