What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide

    Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company.

    For a birth before 8:23 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  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. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

    Mercury opposition Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 4.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
