What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun opposition Jupiter (wide at 3.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)
How he loves
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
The Moon trine Venus (close at 2.9°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury square Neptune (close at 1.2°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and he aims again and again.
Mars quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.6°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first.
