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. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: he moves forward a step, then checks it.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces or Aries, the Poet

    Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

    Mercury square Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 11:10 p.m., his Mercury was in Aries.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his optimism, his independence and his imagination (Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
