What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, 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. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (close at 1.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.

    The Moon trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°) · For a birth after 10:29 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

    Mercury square Saturn (exact at 0.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury square Mars (close at 2.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
