What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
The Sun conjunction Uranus (close at 1.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on.
How he loves
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus square Neptune (wide at 3.8°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.9°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars trine Neptune (wide at 4.8°)
The shape of his chart
