What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun opposition Uranus (wide at 6.9°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

    Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence. 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 (close at 1.1°) · For a birth after 4:25 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.

    Mercury quincunx Pluto (close at 1.7°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touches everything else in it.
