What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 9:11 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

  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. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

    The Moon sextile Mercury (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire and air signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
