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. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
The Sun quincunx Neptune (close at 2.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself. Self-contained: he keeps his feelings in order, and he gives comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
The Moon conjunction Saturn (close at 2.4°) · For a birth before 7:15 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.
How he loves
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Venus trine Neptune (close at 1.1°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: he acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.
Mercury quincunx Mars (close at 1.0°)
What drives him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Mars square Pluto (wide at 5.6°)
