What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (close at 1.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

    Venus square Pluto (close at 3.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 3.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

    Mars square Saturn (close at 2.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
