What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (close at 1.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker
Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms.
For a birth after 11:44 p.m., his Moon was in Leo.
How he loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.
Venus quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.
Mars conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his drive, his independence and his intensity (Mars, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
The sky the day he was born
