What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

    Venus sextile Saturn (close at 1.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 5.3°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.

    Mars quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it.
