What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.0°) · For a birth before 6:56 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus square Mars (wide at 5.5°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Mercury is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his mind touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
