What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

    The Sun quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide

    Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness.

    For a birth before 10:48 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus square Uranus (close at 1.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (close at 1.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Aries, 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.
