What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.

    The Moon square Pluto (close at 1.0°) · For a birth before 3:40 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

    Mercury square Jupiter (close at 1.7°)

  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. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
