What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (close at 1.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed.
How he loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
Venus square Mars (close at 2.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo or Cancer, the Storyteller
Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mercury conjunction Uranus (close at 1.5°) · For a birth before 1:35 a.m., his Mercury was in Cancer.
What drives him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mars trine Saturn (wide at 5.2°)
The shape of his chart
Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touches everything else in it.
