What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong.
What he needs
Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair.
For a birth before 9:34 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.
How he loves
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (close at 2.5°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
