What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (close at 1.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four 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.
