What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.

    The Moon square Jupiter (close at 1.8°) · For a birth after 9:08 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

    Mercury square Pluto (close at 2.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

    The Sun opposition Mars (wide at 9.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
