What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Born near a new Moon, so what he wants and what he needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.
The Sun conjunction the Moon (close at 1.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms.
How he loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Venus trine Neptune (close at 1.8°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. He thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and he remembers everything.
Mercury conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)
What drives him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow to start and impossible to stop. He works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars trine Jupiter (close at 1.4°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his feelings and his discipline (the Sun, the Moon and Saturn) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first.
