What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.

    The Sun conjunction Jupiter (wide at 8.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus sextile Uranus (close at 1.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.

    Mercury conjunction Saturn (wide at 4.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
