What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head
Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own.
For a birth after 11:41 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.
How he loves
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Venus trine Jupiter (close at 2.1°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury trine Jupiter (wide at 3.4°)
What drives him
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Mars opposition Pluto (wide at 6.3°)
