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. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide

    Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness.

    For a birth after 10:44 p.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

    Venus sextile Saturn (wide at 4.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
