What his chart says about him
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. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
The Sun sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker
Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (exact at 0.0°) · For a birth before 8:58 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.
How he loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.
Venus conjunction Uranus (close at 2.2°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)
What drives him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow and sure. He does not rush, and he is hard to push off course. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mars square Saturn (wide at 3.6°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
