What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

    Venus opposition Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.

    Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars sextile Neptune (wide at 4.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
