What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun sextile Uranus (wide at 4.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. He thinks with his feelings: memory, mood and wit come together, and his words give away what he feels.

    The Moon conjunction Mercury (wide at 4.0°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 9.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (wide at 6.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his mind and his drive (the Moon, Mercury and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
