What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.

    The Sun quincunx Neptune (wide at 3.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (close at 2.3°)

  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. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (wide at 4.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

    Mars opposition Jupiter (close at 2.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his optimism (the Sun, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
