What his chart says about him

  1. 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°)

  2. 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.

  3. 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°)

  4. 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.

  5. 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°)

  6. 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.
