What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (close at 2.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.

    For a birth before 9:54 a.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  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. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

    Venus trine Pluto (close at 1.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (wide at 6.3°)

  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. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
