What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. 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 0.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.

    Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 1.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Mercury is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his mind touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
