What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: he moves forward a step, then checks it.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head

    Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them. His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon opposition Uranus (close at 1.8°) · For a birth after 11:42 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
