What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

    The Sun quincunx Jupiter (close at 2.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.

    The Moon trine Jupiter (close at 1.8°) · For a birth after 4:26 p.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (wide at 3.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (wide at 3.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
