What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (close at 1.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (wide at 3.3°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

    Venus opposition Saturn (wide at 4.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury square Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (wide at 6.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it.
