What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun trine Saturn (wide at 5.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon opposition Venus (wide at 3.4°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus opposition Mars (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 4.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury trine Mars (wide at 4.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his drive and his discipline (the Moon, Mars and Saturn) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
