What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.4°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker
Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 4:17 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.
How he loves
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Venus trine Neptune (wide at 3.9°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (close at 3.0°)
What drives him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Mars square Uranus (almost exact at 0.4°)
The shape of his chart
Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touches everything else in it. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
