What his chart says about him

  1. 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°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up.

  4. 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.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    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.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
