What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.

    The Sun quincunx Neptune (close at 1.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay.

  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. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 2.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

    Mercury conjunction Uranus (wide at 7.3°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow to start and impossible to stop. He works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his heart, his drive and his independence (Mercury, Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
