What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth after 5:31 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.

    Venus quincunx Neptune (close at 2.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

    Mars square Saturn (wide at 4.4°)

  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 water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
