What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Sun trine Saturn (close at 2.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart
Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return. His feelings run hot and fast, and he protects the people he loves fiercely.
The Moon conjunction Mars (close at 2.7°) · For a birth before 2:31 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.
How he loves
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Venus opposition Uranus (close at 1.4°)
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. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
