What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (close at 1.6°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Cool Head

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

    For a birth before 4:29 a.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
