What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (wide at 3.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure.
How he loves
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Venus square Uranus (wide at 3.5°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)
What drives him
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mars trine Saturn (close at 1.4°)
The shape of his chart
Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
