What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Soft-hearted and full of imagination. Picks up on feelings nobody has said out loud. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move.
How he loves
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Venus trine Saturn (wide at 5.2°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury opposition Neptune (wide at 4.8°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.
Mars conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.1°)
The shape of his chart
The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
