What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun square Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries, 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. His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
The Moon opposition Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)
How he loves
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year.
How he thinks
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

What drives him

Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Aim and action run at different speeds, and he spends real effort keeping them in step.
The Sun quincunx Mars (close at 2.1°)
