What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.

    The Sun conjunction Jupiter (wide at 5.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

    The Moon square Mercury (close at 1.8°) · For a birth before 7:04 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (close at 1.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.

    Mars quincunx Neptune (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
