What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.

    Venus quincunx Pluto (close at 2.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. 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 (wide at 8.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Enthusiasm at full speed: he charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow him only briefly.

    Mars conjunction Jupiter (wide at 3.8°)
