What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun square Saturn (wide at 4.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.
How he loves
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up.
How he thinks
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few.
What drives him

Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.
