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 Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around him feel the same.

    For a birth before 6:22 a.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging.

  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. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  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. 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 (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. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
