What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: he moves forward a step, then checks it.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

    Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along.

  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. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it.
