What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.

    For a birth after 11:50 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Steady, strong and very patient. He keeps going long after others stop. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
