What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Libra or Scorpio, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

    The Moon opposition Mercury (close at 1.2°) · For a birth after 3:50 p.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  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. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.1°)

  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 6.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

  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.
