What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun trine Neptune (wide at 3.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand
Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.
For a birth before 2:41 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.
How he loves
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
Venus opposition Pluto (close at 1.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Mercury square Saturn (close at 1.0°)
What drives him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)
