What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun square Pluto (wide at 8.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.
The Moon sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth before 9:12 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loves
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Venus trine Pluto (wide at 3.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury square Pluto (close at 1.8°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 2.7°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
