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 keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

    The Sun quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.6°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help.

    For a birth before 8:31 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

    Venus trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

    Mercury sextile Pluto (close at 1.3°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 1.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire and air signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
