What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun opposition Neptune (wide at 6.4°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay.
For a birth after 9:36 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.
How he loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.
Venus quincunx Neptune (close at 1.5°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Mercury square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)
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. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.7°)
