What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun sextile Uranus (wide at 6.4°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. Restless feelings: he feels most at home where things are new.

    The Moon conjunction Uranus (close at 2.7°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. He keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.

    Venus quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini or Cancer, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

    Mercury sextile Pluto (close at 2.1°) · For a birth after 3:11 p.m., his Mercury was in Cancer.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.

    Mars quincunx Saturn (close at 1.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his heart, his drive and his independence (the Moon, Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
