What his chart says about him

  1. 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. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.

    The Moon opposition Neptune (close at 1.2°) · For a birth before 7:25 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.

    Venus quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)

  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. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 4.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars opposition Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
