What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. 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 (wide at 3.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reach him as if they are his own.

    The Moon conjunction Neptune (wide at 3.2°) · For a birth before 5:42 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned.

  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. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

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