What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (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 Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

    Mercury trine Neptune (close at 1.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (close at 1.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first.
