What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around him. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (wide at 6.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame
Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth before 11:15 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loves
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.4°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Saturn (close at 1.4°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his heart, his drive and his optimism (Venus, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
