What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun square Neptune (wide at 3.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.

    The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    Venus opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 2.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (exact at 0.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first.
