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. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (exact at 0.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.

    The Moon opposition Jupiter (close at 2.8°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

    Venus square Pluto (wide at 4.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and he aims again and again.

    Mars quincunx Jupiter (exact at 0.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
