What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Sun trine Saturn (close at 1.9°)
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 Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus square Jupiter (wide at 3.8°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Mars square Uranus (close at 1.8°)
The shape of his chart
The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon

The day
