What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
The Sun conjunction Saturn (close at 2.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault
Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.
The Sun opposition the Moon (close at 2.8°) · For a birth after 10:50 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.
How he loves
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.
Venus conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (almost exact at 0.2°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart, his optimism, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
