What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay.

    For a birth after 2:24 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He does not rush, and he is hard to push off course. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars trine Pluto (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
