What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (close at 3.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.

    The Moon trine Uranus (close at 2.0°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 2.5°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

    Mercury trine Neptune (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (wide at 6.0°)
