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.
What he needs
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
The Moon sextile Mercury (close at 1.8°)
How he loves
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
Venus conjunction Mars (wide at 3.3°)
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. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury square Neptune (close at 1.2°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mars sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°)
The shape of his chart
