What his chart says about him
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. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun opposition Uranus (wide at 6.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness.
For a birth before 10:25 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.
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.
Venus quincunx Uranus (close at 1.5°)
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 1.6°)
What drives him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself.
