What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
The Sun opposition Mars (close at 1.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Taurus, the Hearth
Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around him feel the same.
How he loves
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus opposition Neptune (wide at 7.1°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury opposition Mars (wide at 5.7°)
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars trine Jupiter (wide at 4.4°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
