What his chart says about him

  1. 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 needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return. His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries or Taurus, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 1.7°) · For a birth after 3:56 p.m., his Venus was in Taurus.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (wide at 5.3°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself.

  6. The shape of his chart

    No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
