What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all.

    For a birth before 7:42 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.

    Mercury quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.

    Mars conjunction Uranus (close at 2.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
