What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini or Cancer, the Messenger

    Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

    The Sun square the Moon (almost exact at 0.9°) · For a birth after 4:31 p.m., his Sun was in Cancer.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.

    The Moon trine Saturn (close at 2.3°) · For a birth before 10:32 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

    Venus opposition Neptune (wide at 5.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

    Mercury trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.

    Mars conjunction Uranus (close at 2.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it.
