What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. 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 square Jupiter (wide at 5.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.

    The Moon opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (wide at 3.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

    Mercury square Saturn (close at 2.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (close at 2.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
