What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Moon square Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.
Venus conjunction Uranus (close at 2.5°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first.
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.
Mars conjunction Pluto (close at 1.3°)
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 air signs: ideas and people.
