What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun trine Saturn (close at 1.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence. Big feelings and a big heart: his good moods lift everyone near, and he gives comfort freely.

    The Moon conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 3.6°)

  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.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (wide at 6.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his feelings, his drive and his optimism (the Sun, the Moon, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
