What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun opposition Uranus (close at 1.4°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.

    Venus quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and he weighs words before letting them go.

    Mercury quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.

    Mars quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touches everything else in it. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
