What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
The Sun quincunx Neptune (close at 2.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. Tenderness through and through: he needs beauty and affection the way others need air.
The Moon conjunction Venus (close at 1.6°) · For a birth after 2:12 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.
How he loves
Venus in Taurus or Aries, the Keeper
Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus opposition Neptune (wide at 4.2°) · For a birth before 6:36 a.m., his Venus was in Aries.
How he thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (wide at 4.2°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in eight of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it.
