What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.

What he needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness.
