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 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 (almost exact at 0.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon opposition Venus (close at 1.2°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different.

  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. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (close at 1.7°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.

    Mars quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
