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. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
The Sun square Mars (close at 3.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own.
How he loves
Venus in Taurus or Gemini, the Keeper
Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth after 5:05 p.m., his Venus was in Gemini.
How he thinks
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Mercury trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)
What drives him
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Mars square Pluto (wide at 4.8°)
The shape of his chart
