What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Soft-hearted and full of imagination. Picks up on feelings nobody has said out loud. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    The Sun opposition Jupiter (wide at 4.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Enthusiasm at full speed: he charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow him only briefly.
